Register OVS_KEY_ATTR_ICMPV6 in the flow key parser so that
icmpv6(type=...) can be used in flow specifications. Without this
registration the parser silently drops the token and the kernel
rejects the flow with EINVAL because the expected ICMPv6 key
attribute is missing.
While here, add convert_int() to the ovs_key_ipv6 and ovs_key_icmp
fields_map entries so that specifying a field value produces the
correct wildcard mask. The IPv6 flow label uses convert_int(20) to
produce a 20-bit mask (0x000FFFFF), matching the kernel constraint in
flow_netlink.c that rejects masks with bits 20-31 set; byte-wide
fields use convert_int(8). The ipv4 counterpart already does this via
convert_int(); the ipv6 and icmp classes were simply missing the fifth
tuple element. Existing callers that pass empty parentheses are
unaffected because convert_int("") returns (0, 0).
Add test_icmpv6 exercising the ICMPv6 echo flow key. The test uses
static neighbour entries with nud permanent to prevent racy NDP, then
verifies in three steps: install icmpv6(type=128) and
icmpv6(type=129) flows and confirm ping works, remove the flows and
confirm ping fails, reinstall and confirm recovery.
