[PATCH dpdk v3 03/17] net: add structure for ipv6 addresses

[Robin Jarry]

There is currently no structure defined for IPv6 addresses. Introduce
one that is simply a uint8_t array of 16 elements. The idea is to ensure
this structure alignment is 1 so that it can be mapped directly on
unaligned packet memory.
