dhcp6_request_address() was merely a function to switch the DHCPv6 client from "stateless" mode to "stateful" mode. It was also a one-way switch. Also, to (re)start the client, we would need to repeat separate function calls. In this patch, dhcp6_request_address() is made a general starter/manager of the DHCPv6 client. It now takes an extra parameter so we will be specifying which mode the DHCPv6 client should be started in. Also it will keep track of the current mode and compare with the newly requested mode, and only restart the client in case there is a difference between them. This also makes sure that the DHCPv6 client will be (re)started accordingly as per the Router Advertisement flags.
