Explicit set IPV6_AUTOCONF and IPV6_FORCE_ACCEPT_RA on static6 (#634)

The static and static6 subnet types for network_data.json were
being ignored by the Openstack handler, this would cause the code to
break and not function properly.

As of today, if a static6 configuration is chosen, the interface will
still eventually be available to receive router advertisements or be set
from NetworkManager to wait for them and cycle the interface in negative
case.

It is safe to assume that if the interface is manually configured to use
static ipv6 address, there's no need to wait for router advertisements.
This patch will set automatically IPV6_AUTOCONF and IPV6_FORCE_ACCEPT_RA
both to "no" in this case.

This patch fixes the specific behavior only for RHEL flavor and
sysconfig renderer. It also introduces new unit tests for the specific
case as well as adjusts some existent tests to be compatible with the
new options. This patch also addresses this problem by assigning the
appropriate subnet type for each case on the openstack handler.
