[Bug 1737976] [NEW] netplan cannot set IPv6 token

[Justin Coffman]

Public bug reported:

Summary:

netplan contains no configuration entry that allows one to statically
configure the IPv6 host ID (low 64 bits) when autogenerated (DHCPv6
stateless, SLAAC) addressing is used.

This should map to the IPv6Token entry for systemd-networkd (man
systemd.network, [Network] section), and the ipv6.token entry for
NetworkManager (https://developer.gnome.org/NetworkManager/stable
/settings-ipv6.html).
