net: add sysctl accept_ra_min_rtr_lft

Browse source 
This change adds a new sysctl accept_ra_min_rtr_lft to specify the
minimum acceptable router lifetime in an RA. If the received RA router
lifetime is less than the configured value (and not 0), the RA is
ignored.
This is useful for mobile devices, whose battery life can be impacted
by networks that configure RAs with a short lifetime. On such networks,
the device should never gain IPv6 provisioning and should attempt to
drop RAs via hardware offload, if available.
