ospf6d: add "auto-cost reference-bandwidth" command

This command allows the user to change to default reference bandwidth
for cost calculations. The default value is 100 Mbps. With a default
bandwidth of 10 MBps, the default cost becomes 10. Those values are
consistent with OSPFv2.

+This sets the reference bandwidth for cost calculations, where this
+bandwidth is considered equivalent to an OSPF cost of 1, specified in
+Mbits/s. The default is 100Mbit/s (i.e. a link of bandwidth 100Mbit/s
+or higher will have a cost of 1. Cost of lower bandwidth links will be
+scaled with reference to this cost).
+
+This configuration setting MUST be consistent across all routers
+within the OSPF domain.
