woojiq d559eed93a lib.network: ipv6 parser from string
Add a library function to parse and validate an IPv6 address from a
string. It can parse the first two versions of an IPv6 address according
to https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc4291#section-2.2. The third
form "xxx:x.d.d.d.d" is not yet implemented. Optionally parser can accept prefix length (128 is default).

Add shell script network.sh to test IPv6 parser functionality.

/**
Creates an `IPv6Address` object from an IPv6 address as a string. If
the prefix length is omitted, it defaults to 64. The parser is limited
to the first two versions of IPv6 addresses addressed in RFC 4291.
The form "x:x:x:x:x:x:d.d.d.d" is not yet implemented. Addresses are
NOT compressed, so they are not always the same as the canonical text
representation of IPv6 addresses defined in RFC 5952.
# Type
```

# Examples
```nix
fromString "2001:DB8::ffff/32"
=> {
address = "2001:db8:0:0:0:0:0:ffff";
prefixLength = 32;
}
```
# Arguments
- [addr] An IPv6 address with optional prefix length.
