ipv6: add force_forwarding sysctl to enable per-interface forwarding ...
It is currently impossible to enable ipv6 forwarding on a per-interface
basis like in ipv4. To enable forwarding on an ipv6 interface we need to
enable it on all interfaces and disable it on the other interfaces using
a netfilter rule. This is especially cumbersome if you have lots of
interfaces and only want to enable forwarding on a few. According to the
sysctl docs [0] the `net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding` enables forwarding
for all interfaces, while the interface-specific
`net.ipv6.conf.<interface>.forwarding` configures the interface
Host/Router configuration.
Introduce a new sysctl flag `force_forwarding`, which can be set on every
interface. The ip6_forwarding function will then check if the global
forwarding flag OR the force_forwarding flag is active and forward the
packet.
To preserve backwards-compatibility reset the flag (on all interfaces)
to 0 if the net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding flag is set to 0.
Add a short selftest that checks if a packet gets forwarded with and
without `force_forwarding`.
