Adds the "manual" method for inet6

I need to be able to do the following from within /etc/network/interfaces:

iface eth0 inet6 manual
   pre-up echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/eth0/accept_ra
   up ip link set eth0 up
   down ip link set eth0 down

But since the inet6 "manual" method isn't yet available in busybox 1.17.1 and 1.17.2, I decided to whip up a patch for it.

See the attachment.
