ipv6: user better hash for addrconf

The existing hash function has a couple of issues:
  * it is hardwired to 16 for IN6_ADDR_HSIZE
  * limited to 256 and callers using int
  * use jhash2 rather than some old BSD algorithm

No need for random seed since this is local only (based on assigned
addresses) table.
