This vty cmd let's you set up a new link-local IP for a specific APN to
be used during ICMPv6 Router Advertisement procedure.
osmo-ggsn hence requires a link-local IPv6 address to be added to the
tun interface, otherwise the apn will not be configured correctly and it
won't be able to allocate addresses from the ipv6 pool later on.
This feature is useful in case your OS doesn't support autoconfiguring
link-local IPs when the interface is brought up (some linux versions are
known to fail at this) or in case you configured your OS specifically to
avoid automatic set up (sysctl net.ipv6.conf.*.autoconf).
If "no ipv6 link-local" is provided (default), osmo-ggsn will rely on the
OS or the ipup-script setting up the link-local IP for the tun
interface at creation time, then fetching it after ipup-script time and
using the first link-local ip found. On the other hand, if the "ipv6
link-local" cmd is provided, osmo-ggsn will add the link-local IP to the
interface manually and use that one for later Router Advertisement
procedures.

This per-APN vty option determines if we are transmitting GTP sequence
numbers in downlink G-PDU messages. This behavior is optional as per
GTP spec. The default behavior is "true", like before this change.

I'm not quite sure how I ended up doing this, but for some strange
reason the code before this commit is sending the ICMPv6 Router
Advertisements from some weird non-standard source address. This is
a violation of RFC4861 which clearly states that the source address
of router advertisements "MUST be the link-local address assigned to the
interface from which this message is sent."

In case the GGSN is behind some kind of DNAT, the public GTP-C and
GTP-U IP addresses as exposed inside the GTP payload information
elements are different from the (internal, behind-nat) IP address
to which it listens/binds.
