net: ipv6: Add support for default gateway discovery.

In IPv6, the default gateway and prefix length are determined by receiving
a router advertisement as defined in -
https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc4861.

Add support for sending router solicitation (RS) and processing router
advertisements (RA).

If the RA has prefix info option and following conditions are met, then
gatewayip6 and net_prefix_length of ip6addr env variables are initialized.
These are later consumed by IPv6 code for non-local destination IP.

- "Router Lifetime" != 0
- Prefix is NOT link-local prefix (0xfe80::/10)
- L flag is 1
- "Valid Lifetime" != 0

Timing Parameters:
- MAX_RTR_SOLICITATION_DELAY (0-1s)
- RTR_SOLICITATION_INTERVAL (4s) (min retransmit delay)
- MAX_RTR_SOLICITATIONS (3 RS transmissions)

The functionality is enabled by CONFIG_IPV6_ROUTER_DISCOVERY and invoked
automatically from net_init_loop().
