Please add DHCPv6 NTP options to stock dhcpcd.conf and exit hooks #682

Description

@perkelix

Our current stock config only features the IPv4 NTP server option (ntp_servers, 42, ipaddress). It doesn't any request IPv6 NTP option (sntp_servers, 00031, ip6address) or (ntp_server, 00056, ipv6address or FQDN).

Our config line should therefore be (subject to --enable-ntp uncommenting):

# Most distributions have NTP support (DHCP option 42, DHCPv6 options 31 and 56).
option ntp_servers, sntp_servers, ntp_server

Meanwhile our exit hooks only know about ntp_servers (IPv4) and sntp_servers (IPv6). However, they don't know anything about ntp_server (IPv6), which is somewhat problematic since it's the only NTP option that can receive an FQDN as the answer.
