ipv6: add option to drop unsolicited neighbor advertisements

In certain 802.11 wireless deployments, there will be NA proxies
that use knowledge of the network to correctly answer requests.
To prevent unsolicitd advertisements on the shared medium from
being a problem, on such deployments wireless needs to drop them.

Enable this by providing an option called "drop_unsolicited_na".

By default this is turned off.
drop_unsolicited_na - BOOLEAN
Drop all unsolicited neighbor advertisements, for example if there's
a known good NA proxy on the network and such frames need not be used
(or in the case of 802.11, must not be used to prevent attacks.)
By default this is turned off.
