ifconfig-ipv6(-push): allow using hostnames

Similarly to ifconfig(-push), its IPv6 counterpart is now able to accept hostnames as well instead of IP addresses in numeric form.

Basically this means that the user is now allowed to specify something like this:

ifconfig-ipv6-push my.hostname.cx/64

This is exactly the same behaviour that we already have with ifconfig(-push).

The generic code introduced in this patch will be later used to implement the /bits parsing support for IPv4 addresses.

Trac: #808

Signed-off-by Antonio Quartulli <[email protected]...>

---

v4:
- fix variable order in debug message
- fix typo in loglevel name

v3:
- declare 'bits' as unsigned long (will store result of strtoul())
- convert ASSERTs to plain error handling in get_addr_generic()
- remove useless comment about '/' overwriting
- improve debug message by printing hostname

v2:
- rebased on top of master
- style adapted to new CodingStyle

I didn't mean to banish ASSERT: it does have some legitimate uses. IMO, if the invalid input is due to programmer error, say, null hostname, ASSERT is good and useful to catch it during tests. But if its a user input error, say, empty hostname, or some runtime error, use of ASSERT calls for a very strong justification.

Just expressing an opinion, I respect your choice here and below.

Looks good and works as advertised. Thanks.
