mobile: enable IPv6CP
This patch lets pppd negotiate IPv6 parameters using IPV6CP. It allows
dual-stack mobile broadband to work correctly.
Due to the fact that ModemManager hard-codes use of IPv4-only PDP type,
the PDP context must manually be defined first using for example
AT+CGDCONT=1,"IPV4V6","apn". (ModemManager does not overwrite an
already-defined PDP context with the correct APN.)
IPV6CP is not considered essential, so when connecting using an IPv4-
only PDP context, pppd gives up after a retransmitting a few IPV6CP
ConfReqs. The retransmissions happen asynchronously, pppd nor NM waits
for them to finish before activating the IPv4 part of the connections.
The patch also makes pppd support IPv6-only connections (because IPCP
isn't considered essential by pppd either), however NM will currently
fail the entire connection if IPCP/IPv4 doesn't succeed.
