net: ping6: Add ping6 command

Implement ping6 command to ping hosts using IPv6. It works the same way as
an ordinary ping command. There is no ICMP request so it is not possible
to ping our host. This patch adds options in Kconfig and Makefile to
build ping6 command.

Series-changes: 3
- Added structures and functions descriptions
- Added to ping6_receive() return value instead of void

Series-changes: 4
- Fixed structures and functions description style
