networkd: various fixes for the IPv6 privacy extensions support
- Make sure that the IPv6PrivacyExtensions=yes results in prefer-temporary, not prefer-public. - Introduce special enum value "kernel" to leave setting unset, similar how we have it for the IP forwarding settings. - Bring the enum values in sync with the the strings we parse for them, to the level this makes sense (specifically, rename "disabled" to "no", and "prefer-temporary" to "yes"). - Make sure we really set the value to to "no" by default, the way it is already documented in the man page. - Fix whitespace error. - Make sure link_ipv6_privacy_extensions() actually returns the correct enum type, rather than implicitly casting it to "bool". - properly size formatting buffer for ipv6 sysctl value - Don't complain if /proc/sys isn't writable - Document that the enum follows the kernel's own values (0 = off, 1 = prefer-public, 2 = prefer-temporary) - Drop redundant negating of error code passed to log_syntax() - Manpage fixes This fixes a number of issues from PR #417
