  1. dhcp6c no release option and extra logging 

    Added a no release '-n' option to dhcp6c. This is to prevent some ISP's will release the allocated PD or address on receipt of the release signal and issue a new address on next request. As dhcp6c by default sends the release on exit the only way to stop it is by stopping all release signals being sent. the -n option does that. Also added is some extra info logging which is minimul and useful without resorting to the debug log.

  2. Added no release option & additional light logging 

    Add -n no release option to prevent dhcpc6 from sending release signal to ISP. Some ISP's will release the allocated address or PD on receipt of the signal and issue new ones on the next request. As this is the default behavior of dhcp6c the only option is to stop it from sending release signals completely, this option handles that used in conjunction with an option in WAN DHCP6 configuration. Also added is some light extra INFO logging that helps to show what dhcp6c is doing.
