[Bug 1604617] [NEW] dhclient does not send fqdn.fqdn for DHCPv6

[Edward Lee]

Public bug reported:

ISC DHCP's dynamic DNS updates rely on the fqdn.fqdn option being sent
in order to work for DHCPv6.  This used to be done in Ubuntu, as shown
in bugs #991360 and #108862, and all my Windows hosts send it.  However
this was removed in Ubuntu due to a regression in IPv4 functionality.

As IPv6 is more widely deployed these days, this regression in IPv6 should be fixed.  This bug is
current as of Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.
