Philipp Kern: IPv6 support in debian-installer, take 2

The IPv6 patch set for netcfg (part of debian-installer) has landed in Debian unstable. In follow-up uploads I diverged from the Ubuntu patch set a little bit:
Thanks to Michael Tokarev's recent upload of busybox, we now also have a more featureful ping and ping6 in debian-installer's environment.

Known bugs:
If you could take another look at a current d-i daily, install a system with it and look if the installed system has a correct network configuration, that would still be appreciated. I also need somebody to test the GNU/kFreeBSD image. I fixed it up to build there but the result might be entirely wrong.

My sincere thanks go to Bernhard Schmidt and Karsten Merker, who successfully completed installations over IPv6 in various environments!
