ipv6 routing in grub2 is broken, we cannot talk to anything outside our local
network or anything that doesn't route in our global namespace. This patch
fixes this by doing a couple of things
1) Read the router information off of the router advertisement. If we have a
router lifetime we need to take the source address and create a route from it.
2) Changes the routing stuff slightly to allow you to specify a gateway _and_ an
interface. Since the router advertisements come in on the link local address we
need to associate it with the global address on the card. So when we are
processing the router advertisement, either use the SLAAC interface we create
and add the route to that interface, or loop through the global addresses we
currently have on our interface and associate it with one of those addresses.
We need to have a special case here for the default route so that it gets used,
we do this by setting the masksize to 0 to mean it encompasses all networks.
The routing code will automatically select the best route so if there is a
closer match we will use that.
With this patch I can now talk to ipv6 addresses outside of my local network.

Many routers have long router advertisment interval configured by
default. The Neighbor Discovery protocol (RFC4861) has defined default
MaxRtrAdvInterval value as 600 seconds and
MinRtrAdvInterval as 0.33*MaxRtrAdvInterval. This makes
net_ipv6_autoconf fails more often than not as currently it passively
listens the RA message to perfom address autoconfiguration.
This patch tries to send router solicitation to overcome the problem of
long RA interval.
v2:
use cpu_to_be macro for network byte order conversion
add missing error handling
The structure size used in grub_netbuff_pull to get the pointer to
option header is apparently wrong, which leads to subsequent range check
failed and therefore not responding to any neighbor solicit message in my
testing.
