    device: don't assume by default IPv6LL-only connections · 3bc097b0

    Add the new configuration option 'assume-ipv6ll-only' which specifies
    the devices for which NM will try to assume an existing IPv6LL-only
    configuration.
    
    The new default behavior is to ignore such configurations since IPv6LL
    addresses are automatically assigned by the kernel when the device is
    brought up and thus the presence of an IPv6LL address doesn't mean
    that the device was configured by the administrator.
    
    The previous behavior was to always assume IPv6LL-only configurations
    but this often had the unwanted effect of preventing other on-disk
    configurations to be activated. To preserve the old behavior the
    option must be set to '*'.
