Major Hayden 31823b7647 Implemented: V-38548.
This patch disables ICMPv6 redirects feature on the host.
Accepting ICMP redirects has few legitimate uses.
It should be disabled unless it is absolutely required.

It is configurable by ``security_disable_icmpv6_redirects`` variable.
This feature is disabled by default.

A new task was added to disable ICMPv6 redirects per the requirements in
V-38548. However, since this change can cause problems in running OpenStack
environments, it is disabled by default. Deployers who wish to enable this
task (and disable ICMPv6 redirects) should set
``security_disable_icmpv6_redirects`` to ``yes``.
