Subject: [PATCH] Remove RA solicit delay
It turns out that this breaks ipv6 config with NM. Instead what we want
is for glean to not up interfaces on boot (see the depends-on).

+ The ``DIB_SIMPLE_INIT_NETWORKMANAGER_IPV6_DELAY`` variable is removed as
+ it turned out that increasing this delay increased the odds that
+ NetworkManager would fail to configure IPv6 on an interface. Instead,
+ glean has been updated to not up interfaces and relies on NetworkManager
+ to do this. This results in reliable IPv4 and IPv6 config.
