This defines a new DHCP suboption "DNS6", but does not actually
implement anything but "document the option and understand it".
If received, it will be put into an "foreign_option_<n>" environment
variable where an --up script or plugin could receive and act upon it.
On non-Windows platforms, all "dhcp-option" sub-options end up there,
so v4 and v6 DNS options will be reflected like this:
foreign_option_1=dhcp-option DNS6 2001:608::2
foreign_option_2=dhcp-option DNS 195.30.0.2
