After running dhclient -6 we expect the DHCPv6 assigned address to be
immediately usable. That's true with the Fedora dhclient-script (and the
upstream ISC DHCP one), however it's not true with the Debian
dhclient-script. The Debian script can complete with the address still
in "tentative" state, and the address won't be usable until Duplicate
Address Detection (DAD) completes. That's arguably a bug in Debian (see
link below), but for the time being we need to work around it anyway.
We usually get away with this, because by the time we do anything where the
address matters, DAD has completed. However, it's not robust, so we should
explicitly wait for DAD to complete when we get an DHCPv6 address.

Because the host and guest share the same IP address with passt/pasta, it's
not possible for the guest to directly address the host. Therefore we
allow packets from the guest going to a special "NAT to host" address to be
redirected to the host, appearing there as though they have both source and
destination address of loopback.
Currently that special address is always the address of the default
gateway (or none). That can be a problem if we want that gateway to be
addressable by the guest. Therefore, allow the special "NAT to host"
address to be overridden on the command line with a new --map-host-loopback
option.
In order to exercise and test it, update the passt_in_ns and perf
tests to use this option and give different mapping addresses for the
two layers of the environment.
