URL: https://github.com/apache/nuttx/pull/10813

   ## Summary
   
   Allows setting the advertised route lifetime, and also to set it to 0 for 
advertising only the prefix.
   
   From RFC4861:
   
   >   A router might want to send Router Advertisements without advertising
      itself as a default router.  For instance, a router might advertise
      prefixes for stateless address autoconfiguration while not wishing to
      forward packets.  Such a router sets the Router Lifetime field in
      outgoing advertisements to zero.
   
   ## Impact
   
   Default setting is the same 1800 as previously hardcoded value.
   
   ## Testing
   
   Tested on custom STM32F4 target communicating with Linux system.
   
   With default settings NuttX appears as a default router in `ip -6 route` 
output.
   By setting `CONFIG_NET_ICMPv6_ROUTER_LIFETIME=0` only the advertised prefix 
appears.
