Hello great devs,
looks like something broke recently on trunk, regarding IPv6 RA handling
(proto=dhcpv6)
when an interface receives a router advertisement with on-link bit set,
it correctly adds the default via,
as well as a static route to the local (on-link) network
but after some seconds (maybe a minute) that static route disappears,
which makes the host use the default via (unnecessarily) to reach other hosts
on the local segment.
it worked fine with netifd_2013-12-29, albeit the routing table approach was
different (it used a separate table)
what follows is an insightful log taken from trunk r39428

### wait a dozen seconds, no more than a minute, and check routing table again:

With netifd_2013-12-29, that last rule is never dropped / removed, even after
days of uptime
Hope that helps chasing the bug, since the bisect window is small: only 3
commits,
Add indicator-flags to ubus and hotplug update-events
Remove automatically assigned IPv6 routing table # fishy, fishy, fishy fish?
;)
Don't add unnecessary NOP policy rules
cheers!
