Digital Ocean - Enable IPV6 when creating the instance

[Techbrunch]

It would be great to enable IPV6 when creating droplet (or at least have the option to enable it).

This would enable port scan using IPV6.

This can be done with doctl using the --enable-ipv6 flag.

Workaround: https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/networking/ipv6/how-to/enable/#on-existing-droplets

Setting ipv6 to true in do.json:

{
  "builders": [
    {
      "type": "digitalocean",
      "ssh_username": "root",
      "snapshot_name": "{{ user `snapshot_name` }}",
      "api_token": "{{ user `do_key` }}",
      "image": "ubuntu-20-04-x64",
      "region": "{{ user `region`  }}",
      "size": "s-1vcpu-1gb",
      "ipv6": true
    }
  ]
}

It worked when building the image but not when creating new droplet from the image.

@Techbrunch I'll try to look into this over the weekend, just been very busy. For what its worth Linode seems to have IPV6 automatically enabled

@Techbrunch @0xtavian this can be done by modifying do-funcations.sh file This is the pull request https://github.com/pry0cc/axiom/pull/377/commits/24f8c1c77bffe4d7f274310ffde0632d7e52ac63
