BACKPORT: ipv6 addrconf: implement RFC7559 router solicitation backoff

This implements:
  https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7559

Backoff is performed according to RFC3315 section 14:
  https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3315#section-14



We allow setting /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/*/router_solicitations
to a negative value meaning an unlimited number of retransmits,
and we make this the new default (inline with the RFC).

We also add a new setting:
  /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/*/router_solicitation_max_interval
defaulting to 1 hour (per RFC recommendation).
