enable ipv6 network configuration options
enable the ipv6 flag in podman network to be able to create dual-stack networks for containers. This is required to be compatible with docker, where --ipv6 really means dual stack. podman, unlike docker, support IPv6 only containers since 07e3f1bba9674c0cb93a0fa260930bfebbf75728.
