The IPv6 spec say that when performing SLAAC, you should sent at most
3 RSes, at least 4 seconds apart. We were previously continuing to
send RSes forever if we didn't get back a response. Fix that.
(Since the fix involves making nm-lndp-rdisc use NMPlatform, it was
necessary to rewrite the rdisc test program a bit, to not try to
include <net/if.h>, which is incompatible with <linux/if.h>.)
NetworkManager uses the sysctl value 'max_addresses' as the kernel does.
There is however a difference in what addresses are taken into account.
The kernel counts all addresses on the interface (including temporary,
private addresses and user configured ones).
NM instead only limits the number of public autoconf addresses to
'max_addresses'. This is because it is difficult for NM to count all
addresses (which can come from different sources) and it is not
necessarily a more logical behavior. Only be aware, that NM uses
the same config value as the kernel, but counts differently.
Especially, the kernel might reach the limit earlier then NM in the
presence of temporary addresses or addresses not from SLAAC.
Note, that the kernel uses 'max_addresses' only to limit public, autoconf
addresses. So this limit does not affect NM adding as many addresses as
it wants.

If the command line or NetworkManager.conf mentions a non-existent
domain, just print a warning and ignore it. That way if you switch to
using an older NM that doesn't have that domain, it will still work.
ndp_open() can fail, do not assume it cannot.
When 'ipv6.disable=1' kernel parameter is used, the whole IPv6 stack is
disabled and the attempt to create PF_INET6 socket fails.

Abstract class, fake implementation and a manual testing tool for
NetworkManager's internal IPv6 router discovery module. When a real
implementation is ready, it will replace nm-ip6-manager and will be used
by nm-device.
