Drop CONFIG_IPV6 ?

Hi All,

We currently have some circular dependencies caused by the usage of
PROVIDES and @IPV6
https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/issues/9407

One radical way to fix, suggested by Jow, is to completely remove
CONFIG_IPV6 from OpenWrt.
This would also allow to simplify packaging of some core components.

Is anyone disabling CONFIG_IPV6 ?
Do people agree we can drop CONFIG_IPV6 ?
Should we do this before we branch 22.x ?

Best
Etienne
