This PR is part of our upstreaming effort of gluon-parker into gluon itself.
On it's own this PR does not really make sense for gluon. But we are planning on upstreaming all other missing components as well. Our roadmap / collection of work packages is here.

When the parker mesh-vpn provider is used radvd needs to be configured in a different way compared to vanilla Gluon.

With this change the different behavior is introduced if the mesh-vpn provider is "parker".

In parker every node with an active VPN connection gets an individual IPv6 prefix (and address). This configuration is placed in /tmp/addr6 and /tmp/prefix6 by the configuration service.

These values are than used to announce the prefix to use and to announce the node itself as DNS server.
