[U-Boot] [RFC PATCH v2 04/11] lib: net_utils: add string_to_ip6

[Chris Packham]

string_to_ip6 parses an IPv6 address from a string. Parsing v6 addresses
is a bit more complicated than parsing v4 because there are a number of
different formats that can be used.

I'm sure the parsing can be better and done in less code with only a
single pass but I haven't yet figured it out. The main problem is that
"::" can represent a variable number of contiguous "0000:" so when
parsing "::" we can't tell how many half words to skip.

Changes in v2:
- Wrap code in CONFIG_NET6
