Revert "ipv6: preserve insertion order for same-scope addresses"

Chris Adams reported that preserving insertion order for same-scope
addresses is causing SSH connections to be dropped after stopping a VM
while running NetworkManager.

NetworkManager caches the IPv6 address configuration, when a RA arrives,
it determines the list of addresses to configure and checks if the
addresses are already in the right order in the kernel. If they aren't,
NetworkManager removes and re-adds them to achieve the desired order.

As the order changes, NetworkManager is confused and reconfigures the
addresses on every update. In addition, this would also affect to cloud
tooling that relies on IPv6 addresses order to identify primary and
secondaries addresses.

This reverts commit cb3de96eea66f5e4a580086c6a1be46e765f97f4.
