doc: merge ip6table man pages into ipv4 ones
a couple of improvements to the iptables man page never made it into ip6tables version. The number of differences between these two files is so small that it seems preferable to alias the ipv6 man pages to their ipv4 counterpart and change iptables man page to specifically document differences (e.g. lack of ip6tables -f, etc).
