api: update documentation about IPv6 bearer methods
Even if the IPv6 bearer method is DHCP, the client should use SLAAC
(eg, IPv6 Router Solicitations, Router Adverisements, and possibly
DHCPv6) to determine the correct prefix and DNS information. In
some cases, even with the DHCP method, and IPv6 "address" will be
given which should be assigned to the data port before beginning
an IP addressing as the mobile network may expect this address
to be used.
