Alex Henrie a5fcea2d2f net: ipv6/addrconf: introduce a regen_min_advance sysctl
In RFC 8981, REGEN_ADVANCE cannot be less than 2 seconds, and the RFC
does not permit the creation of temporary addresses with lifetimes
shorter than that:

> When processing a Router Advertisement with a
> Prefix Information option carrying a prefix for the purposes of
> address autoconfiguration (i.e., the A bit is set), the host MUST
> perform the following steps:

> 5.  A temporary address is created only if this calculated preferred
>     lifetime is greater than REGEN_ADVANCE time units.

However, some users want to change their IPv6 address as frequently as
possible regardless of the RFC's arbitrary minimum lifetime. For the
benefit of those users, add a regen_min_advance sysctl parameter that
can be set to below or above 2 seconds.
