Push-remove (introduced in commit 970312f1850) did not handle "ifconfig"
yet, as both "ifconfig" and "ifconfig-ipv6" are handled differently from
all other pushed options.  Since there was no valid use-case to not-push
"ifconfig" (no support on the client side for running IPv6-only) this
was not an issue so far - but with the recent commits to enable ipv6-only
operation it can be a desirable feature.

The implementation is similar to "push-remove ifconfig-ipv6" - namely,
flagging via a new context option (c->options.push_ifconfig_ipv4_blocked)
and then not creating the push statement in "send_push_reply()".

While not truly elegant, it's much less invasive than the alternatives
(storing the list of "push-remove" statements somewhere and then checking
in push_option_ex())

Trac: #1072
