- Add the new `--create-v6` parameter to the `zone-setup` binary for setting up OPTE ports in a service zone. Also adds stronger types around IPv4 addresses for the gateway / private IP arguments. Includes a number of tests for those types, and all combinations of arguments we could provide. - Ensure we create both IPv4 and IPv6 DHCP address objects in the current zone, depending on how the SMF properties are set. These properties are now set in the sled-agent for both IPv4 and IPv6. - Move the code from the `RunningZone` which does the `route(8)` shenanigans to work around stlouis#326 (setting up a default route to the OPTE virtual gateway), and which also waits for the DHCPv6 address on the link. This was all duplicated, and moving it here means we can delete the workaround in one place in the future.

The results look fairly good on Madrid with the Juniper backend providing NTP and BGP over IPv6. Obviously not a complete end-to-end, but promising. |

I started with v22rc1 in an IPv4 configuration and did an operator system update to this PR: On first glance, all looks good and proper and console comes up successfully.
