Can you add the IPv6 and IP2Location LITE database support?

Hi Cameron! Thanks for the idea.Will have a look, when I have time, but expect months, before something happens here.

Besides the currently used old / legacy IPv4 database (http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoLiteCountry/GeoIP.dat.gz), Maxmind also provides an additional file with IPv6 addresses (http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoIPv6.dat.gz) in the old format. We could integrate that, but I tend to switch to the new GeoLite2 format (http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoLite2-Country.mmdb.gz). This should be more future-proof.

I think I need this for a client soon, so I may implement that in the near future. I would replace the current (old) format completely. If there are any good arguments for keeping the old format and making new/old format configurable, please tell me soon.
