Thinking more about this, I'm not totally happy with this particular
change.

Yes, it makes sense for smallish pools (/112 to /124) because there we
do not have room for "wasting addresses".

OTOH, changing this for an existing /64 pool - or anything "large enough
that 0x1000 addresses will not matter" - would change behaviour in existing 
setups - that's one of the feedbacks I already received via Twitter on the
patchset

  https://twitter.com/tschaeferm/status/1266822120497188876


One of the notable things that it would break is our buildbot t_client
test environment - all clients would receive new v6 addresses, and since
one of the tests is "have I received what I expect?" this would cause
a buildbot explosion.


My idea would be to make this conditional on the pool size - if the size
is /64.../111, make it +0x1000 ("keep existing behaviour for large-enough
pools"), if it's /112.../124, make it +2

Thoughts?

PS: the rest of the patch is fine

I think it makes sense, especially to preserve the current behaviour on
already deployed setups.

New patch incoming!
