IPV6

This PR removes limitations that prevents ipv6 usage.
With this changes user can run cache with ipv6 support.

In case no macvlan is setup but docker is configured for ipv6 support

sudo docker run -d \
        -e UPSTREAM_DNS="[fd01::1]:6453" \
        lancachenet/monolithic:latest

In case macvlan (name publan) network is setup

sudo docker run -d \
        -e UPSTREAM_DNS="[fd01::1]:6453" \
        --ip6=fd01::c:1 \
        --net=publan \
        lancachenet/monolithic:latest

Note, how to setup UPSTREAM_DNS ip (+ optional port) properly.
Ipv6 : [fd01::1]:6453 [fd01::2]
Ipv4 : 8.8.8.8 1.1.1.1:53
mixed : 8.8.8.8 [fd01::1]:6453

ADDITIONAL IPS

This feature requires macvlan to be setup and the container to be granted NET_ADMIN capability.

Since when using macvlan only one external IP can be set (one ipv4 + one ipv6) , this feature makes container to use additional IPs.

Assuming macvlan is set like this:

 sudo docker network create -d macvlan \
	 --subnet=fd01::/64 \
	 --subnet=192.168.1.0/24 \
	 --ip-range=192.168.1.192/28 \
	 --ipv6 \
	 -o parent=eth0 publan  

User can run the container like this:

sudo docker run -d \
        -e ADDITIONAL_IPS="fd01::c:2/64 fd01::c:3/64 192.168.1.202/24 192.168.1.203/24" \
        --ip6=fd01::c:1 \
        --ip=192.168.1.201 \
        --net=publan \
        --cap-add=NET_ADMIN \
        lancachenet/monolithic:latest
