Basic support for IPv6. The system-dependent part doesn't work yet,
but the core routines are there and seem to be working.
o lib/ipv6.[ch] written
o Lexical analyser recognizes IPv6 addresses and when in IPv6
mode, treats pure IPv4 addresses as router IDs.
o Router ID must be configured manually on IPv6 systems.
o Added SCOPE_ORGANIZATION for org-scoped IPv6 multicasts.
o Fixed few places where ipa_(hton|ntoh) was called as a function
returning converted address.
