Add BusyBox's udhcpc6 binary for DHCPv6 support #204

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I'm using DHCP to manage the IP addresses in my network, across both IPv4 and IPv6. But the BMC does not have a DHCPv6 client, at least one that I could find.

Describe the solution you'd like Enable Busybox's built-in DHCPv6 client, and add an additional symlink. I don't think that'll grow the disk usage by much? (I hope!)

Describe alternatives you've considered Somehow work with the SLAAC address the BMC currently derives, but I'm not familiar with how to identify it from the router's perspective (so that it can be added to my LAN's DNS).

Additional context IPv4 works fine, no problems there. Would just like to include DHCPv6 so that I can manage IPv6 addresses in a similar way.
