- ifutil.py: Add retry loop (10s timeout) in set_dhcp() for non-blocking DHCP clients like dhcpcd. The previous code checked for an IP address immediately after ifup returned, but dhcpcd forks and assigns the address asynchronously (~3s delay). - ifutil.py: Add get_ipv6conf() to retrieve global-scope IPv6 address and prefix length via 'ip -6 addr show'. - confconsole.py: Display IPv6 address in both the main services screen and the networking configuration screen when available. Tested on Proxmox LXC unprivileged container (Moodle v19, Trixie) with dhcpcd as the sole DHCP client (dual-stack DHCPv4/DHCPv6).
_get_default_nic() only checked IPv4 via get_ipconf(), causing confconsole to report 'Networking is not yet configured' on IPv6-only hosts despite having a valid global address. Add get_ipv6conf() fallback in _validip(): if no valid IPv4 is found, check for a global-scope IPv6 address before declaring the interface unconfigured. This enables IPv6-first deployments to pass the network check without requiring an IPv4 address.
Pass IPv6 address as $ip6addr to services.txt template instead of appending it after substitution. Uses safe_substitute so appliances without $ip6addr in their services.txt are unaffected. Ref: turnkeylinux/tracker#1658

Copy of @marcos-mendez's #101 PR - see that for full details of the IPv6 update.
This PR just amends the last commit to update the gitgnore file and remove build assets (that will now be ignored post the updated gitignore).
