This change allows the netstack to do SLAAC as outlined by RFC 4862 section 5.5.
Note, this change will not break existing uses of netstack as the default
configuration for the stack options is set in such a way that SLAAC
will not be performed. See `stack.Options` and `stack.NDPConfigurations` for
more details.
This change reuses 1 option and introduces a new one that is required to take
advantage of SLAAC, all available under NDPConfigurations:
- HandleRAs: Whether or not NDP RAs are processes
- AutoGenGlobalAddresses: Whether or not SLAAC is performed.
Also note, this change does not deprecate SLAAC generated addresses after the
preferred lifetime. That will come in a later change (b/143713887). Currently,
only the valid lifetime is honoured.
Tests: Unittest to make sure that SLAAC generates and adds addresses only when
configured to do so. Tests also makes sure that conflicts with static addresses
do not modify the static address.

This change adds a type to represent the NDP Recursive DNS Server option, as
defined by RFC 8106 section 5.1.

This change allows the netstack to do NDP's Prefix Discovery as outlined by
RFC 4861 section 6.3.4. If configured to do so, when a new on-link prefix is
discovered, the routing table will be updated with a device route through
the nic the RA arrived at. Likewise, when such a prefix gets invalidated, the
device route will be removed.
Note, this change will not break existing uses of netstack as the default
configuration for the stack options is set in such a way that Prefix Discovery
will not be performed. See `stack.Options` and `stack.NDPConfigurations` for
more details.
This change reuses 1 option and introduces a new one that is required to take
advantage of Prefix Discovery, all available under NDPConfigurations:
- HandleRAs: Whether or not NDP RAs are processes
- DiscoverOnLinkPrefixes: Whether or not Prefix Discovery is performed (new)
Another note: for a NIC to process Prefix Information options (in Router
Advertisements), it must not be a router itself. Currently the netstack does not
have per-interface routing configuration; the routing/forwarding configuration
is controlled stack-wide. Therefore, if the stack is configured to enable
forwarding/routing, no router Advertisements (and by extension the Prefix
Information options) will be processed.
Tests: Unittest to make sure that Prefix Discovery and updates to the routing
table only occur if explicitly configured to do so. Unittest to make sure at
max stack.MaxDiscoveredOnLinkPrefixes discovered on-link prefixes are
remembered.

This change helps support iterating over an NDP options buffer so that
implementations can handle all the NDP options present in an NDP packet.
Note, this change does not yet actually handle these options, it just provides
the tools to do so (in preparation for NDP's Prefix, Parameter, and a complete
implementation of Neighbor Discovery).
Tests: Unittests to make sure we can iterate over a valid NDP options buffer
that may contain multiple options. Also tests to check an iterator before
using it to see if the NDP options buffer is malformed.

This change is in preparation for NDP Prefix Discovery and SLAAC where the stack
will need to handle NDP Prefix Information options.
Tests: Test that given an NDP Prefix Information option buffer, correct values
are returned by the field getters.

This change adds support for Duplicate Address Detection on IPv6 addresses
as defined by RFC 4862 section 5.4.
Note, this change will not break existing uses of netstack as the default
configuration for the stack options is set in such a way that DAD will not be
performed. See `stack.Options` and `stack.NDPConfigurations` for more details.
Tests: Tests to make sure that the DAD process properly resolves or fails.
That is, tests make sure that DAD resolves only if:
- No other node is performing DAD for the same address
- No other node owns the same address
