Disabled IPv6 privacy extensions

IPv6 privacy extensions can cause issues by preferring a temporary
network over a public one. This preference may limit connectivity
in certain situations. An example of a connectivity issue can be
seen where the command ``traceroute6`` fails or misses all hops
while other traffic to a given domain with a "AAAA" record may
succeed. To resolve this issue the IPv6 privacy extensions have
been disabled.
