This PR brings #712 back to life, now with fd00 rather than fc00. As mentioned here I (and some others) believe fd00 to be a better alternative than the Sixxs prefix.

This should just go in! It is much better than the aaaa:: prefix as we always have been using! 👍

Why is this not just getting in? 👍 from me again! We need to get rid of aaaa:: and have something that is a valid address for the default (local-global) prefix which fd00:: is!

Rebased again, conflicts solved. This is going to affect many external examples / tutorials etc, so I'd like to see some extra support before merging.
@laurentderu, any thoughts from a 6LBR point of view?
@adamdunkels @g-oikonomou?

Certainly better than aaaa::! 👍

For 6lbr, I think there will be a surge in support request but no real issues . The network prefixes are either user configurable or auto-configured, and the non regression tests are already using different prefixes, so everything should be fine.
