Setup:
dhcpcd 10.1.10 started in managed mode.
ia_na is NOT in conf file
Router not providing RA (so we expect IPv6 to just go into holding pattern, no SLAAC nor DHCPv6).
System starts at epoch time.
if I use "--ia_na" after startup it will force a DHCPv6 Solicit even if RA is not available. DHCPv6 server responds, we get time server, TimeOfDay is set.
If I follow up with --rebind -6, lease file is expired, which triggers a rebind. The internal logic sees no RA, and that ia_na was not in conf file, so it goes back into holding pattern.
I would like to add a check that if dhcpcd saw "--ia_na" at some point and it succeeded (we made it all the way to BOUND6), then we should try a Solicit again after IPv6 Routers are declared "not found".
