This change adds an ip6tables rule to fix the checksum of DHCPv6
response packets. Those checksums were left unfilled by virtio (as a
hypervisor internal optimization), but some picky dhcp clients (AFAIU
particularly ISC dhclient) try verifying the checksums, so they fail
to acquire an address if the checksums are left incorrect.
