[PATCH] build: always set CONFIG_IPV6

I find strange any conversation around disabling IPv6 these days, 
regardless the reason. It should be mandatory even if some ISPs don't 
have it enabled yet.

How can one say that IPv6 may be unwanted ? If there is such scenario 
there is something very wrong there.
What should be fixed is the lack of IPv6 in the network or from the ISP, 
not to remove it from any builds, specially in a OpenWrt build.

There is not harm to keep it as is and if there is no IPv6 from the ISP 
nothing bad will happen to the router and everything else will remain 
working as expected in IPv4.

If there was a reason in the past people were removing it was for 
devices with limited amount of flash (4MB generally), but I believe that 
any device with a minimal of 8MB it is already enough to not have to 
remove IPv6 from the build.
