Description

As a first step to support IPv6 containers on Mesos, we need to provide -ip6 and -ip6_discovery_command flags to the agent so that the operator can specify an IPv6 address for the libprocess actor on the agent. In this ticket we will not aim to add IPv6 communication support for Mesos but will aim to use the IPv6 address provided by the operator to fill in the v6 address for any containers running on the host network in a dual stack environment.
