Push an IPv6 CIDR mask used by the server, not the pool's size
Correctly handle CIDR masks when pushing clients addressing from an IPv6 pool. This change ignores the incorrectly used `bits` argument to the --ifconfig-ipv6-pool option. The code to save any provided CIDR mask after the pool IP is left in; this may someday become useful when we move to allow IPv6 pools without relying on an IPv4 pool assignment.
