Allow for the assigning of WAN address when using IA_NA off for IPv6

As my ISP doesn't respond to PD if an IP address is requested we must use the IA_NA option set to disable. This leaves the WAN interface with only an Link Local IPv6 address. I would like the option to have the WAN interface to have a assigned address by using the last address of the PD size.

Example: PD of 60. would be prefix"F"::1/64 or a PD of 56 would result in the prefix"FF"::1/64

By assigning the interface, would allow DDNS to register both interface address in Dual Stack mode (your default setting). Link local "FE80". doesn't register.

Leaving only the IPv4 address to access.

  Hi, yes I am aware that toggle is there, i had to turn that off for IPv6 to work correctly.

  But in doing that the router WAN does not get assigned address from the Prefix which is my understanding of what this request is for?

  I'm the who requested this feature.  I can say they are responsive and at least the alpha release of the next version of Firewalla will support this feature.
