Since march 2021 setting AUTOCONF{4,6} sets UP as well unconditionally.
I have lots of hostname.if files containing only "inet6 autoconf"
without "up" and it works, but I noticed this isn't documented anywhere.Neither do we remove UP and/or RUNNING on `-autoconf' and neither do we document this. This is a good start, I think. Feedback? OK?
