Bug Description

I am not sure whether this is a doc bug or a script bug or both.

In the localrc contents exhibited at http://docs.openstack.org/developer/devstack/guides/neutron.html#id2
there is no mention of any IPv6 gateways, nor is there a restriction of IP_VERSION to 4.
In Liberty the default is 4+6, but the DevStack scripts do not supply a default value for the needed gateway
nor the needed network name.
The result is that when running stack.sh against the localrc contents exhibited there to create the controller,
on exactly the "physical network setup" described in that section,
the creation of the provider IPv6 subnet fails; following is a quote from stack.sh output:

BTW, I did my testing on Ubuntu 14.04.03 after a recent `apt-get update; apt-get upgrade`.
