[PATCH] tools: hv: kvp_daemon: make IPv6-only-injection work

[Dexuan Cui]

Currently IPv6-only-injection doesn't work because the daemon doesn't parse
any IPv6 information at all once it finds the dhcp_enabled flag is true.

But according to the Hyper-v host team, the flag is only for IPv4.
In the case the host only injects 1 IPv6 address, the dhcp flag is true, but
we shouldn't ignore the IPv6 address and we should pass BOOTPROTO=none
to the distro-specific script hv_set_ipconfig.

Tested in Ubuntu 14.10 and RHEL7.
