By default, the Babel protocol will advertise an IPv6 extended next hop
address on interfaces which don't have an IPv4 address. This is controlled
by the 'extended next hop' option.
Add support for 'extended next hop force' which advertises an extended
next hop even when IPv4 addresses are present. (They may be temporary,
for debugging or otherwise unsuitable for including in an advertisement.)
