40network: introduce ip=either6 option
But now, dracut has switched from network-legancy to network-manager, which
can not perceive 'either6' option, and accepts only either 'auto6' or
'dhcp6' parameter.
Take a look at either6 option, it tries its best to find a workable method
by using dhcp6 as the fallback of auto6. Actually, the NetworkManager
options ipv6.method=auto has achieved this goal.
When using auto6, NetworkManager will automatically start DHCPv6 if the
router announces to do so.
Naturally, switching from either6 to auto6 to adapt to change.
