go.net/ipv6: make it work with Go 1.1

This CL makes use of built-in syscall stuff to allow go.net/ipv6
to work together with Go 1.1. Also it's able to improve the package
without churning the Go standard library.

Fixes issue 6548.

I haven't reviewed the CL yet , but I have tested it successfully on linux/386
under 1.1.2 and tip and found no issues.

LGTM. Let's hope we don't have to live with this for too long.
