New configuration methodology - see full commit log.

It occurred to me that IPv6 addresses don't really need to have IP6ALIASES
since all IPs are just added to the interface itself.  So I've changed the
syntax from using IP6ADDR + PREFIXLEN + IP6ALIASES to using just a single
IP6ADDRS array, which takes a list of IP addresses with a prefix length
in a space separated list. eg:
  IP6ADDRS[0]="a:b:c:d::1/64 1:2:3::1/48"
If the prefix length is omitted a /64 length is assumed and a warning
emitted.
