add --ip6 flag to podman create/run

Add the --ipv6 flag to podman create/run and pod create. We support the
--network name:ip6=<ip> syntax now but for docker compat we should also
support the --ip6 flag.
Note that there is no validation if the ip is actually a v6 or v4 address
because the backend does not care either.

Fixes #7511
