interface: warn if ip6hint is truncated
When for example a /60 is assigned to a network the last 4 bits of the
ip6hint are unused. Emit a warning if any of these unused bits is set as
it indicates that someone didn't understand how the hint is used. (As I
did earlier today resulting in spending some time understanding the
code.)
