[PATCH dpdk v1 03/15] net: add structure for ipv6 addresses

[Robin Jarry <rjarry@redhat.com>]

There is currently no structure defined for IPv6 addresses. Introduce
one that is simply a uint8_t array of 16 elements without any union. The
idea is to ensure this structure alignment is 1 so that it can be mapped
directly on unaligned packet memory.
