[pve-devel] [PATCH pve-network 1/2] evpn: add ipv6 slaac support for vnets in an evpn zone

With this we allow to configure a `ipv6-nd-prefix` for vnets in a evpn
zone. If set, RAs with this prefix will be sent regularly so clients on
the vnet can perform SLAAC. Currently we don't set any of the available
(in RFC5175 specified) flags.
