net: ipv6: Add support for default gateway discovery.

In IPv6, the default gateway and prefix length are determined by receiving
a router advertisement as defined in -
https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc4861.

Add support for sending router solicitation (RS) and processing router
advertisements (RA).

If the RA has prefix info option and following conditions are met, then
gatewayip6 and net_prefix_length of ip6addr env variables are initialized.
These are later consumed by IPv6 code for non-local destination IP.

- "Router Lifetime" != 0
- Prefix is NOT link-local prefix (0xfe80::/10)
- L flag is 1
- "Valid Lifetime" != 0

Timing Parameters:
- MAX_RTR_SOLICITATION_DELAY (0-1s)
- RTR_SOLICITATION_INTERVAL (4s) (min retransmit delay)
- MAX_RTR_SOLICITATIONS (3 RS transmissions)

The functionality is enabled by CONFIG_IPV6_ROUTER_DISCOVERY and invoked
automatically from net_init_loop().

net: ipv6: Add Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP)

Implement basic of NDP. It doesn't include such things as Router
Solicitation, Router Advertisement and Redirect. It just has Neighbor
Solicitation and Neighbor Advertisement. Only these two features are used
in u-boot IPv6. Implementation of some NDP functions uses API that was
exposed in "net: ipv6: Add IPv6 basic primitives".

Also this patch inlcudes update in Makefile to build NDP.

Series-changes: 3
- Added structures and functions descriptions
- Fixed style problems

Series-changes: 4
