Extend the `check_for_dependencies()` function in `lib_netcons.sh` to check whether IPv6 is enabled by verifying the existence of `/proc/net/if_inet6`. Having IPv6 is a now a dependency of netconsole tests. If the file does not exist, the script will skip the test with an appropriate message suggesting to verify if `CONFIG_IPV6` is enabled.

This prevents the test to misbehave if IPv6 is not configured.

IDK. I think this is related to some of the recent patches? The context would be helpful in the commit message. Otherwise, as networking people, I think we are obligated to respond with hostility to "IPv6 may not be enabled"..
