iptables: xshared: Ouptut '--' in the opt field in ipv6's fake mode

The fact that the 'opt' table field reports spaces instead of '--' for
IPv6 as it would have been the case with IPv4 has a bit of an
unfortunate side effect that it completely confuses the 'jc' JSON
formatter tool (which has an iptables formatter module).
Consider:
    # ip6tables -L test
    Chain test (0 references)
    target     prot opt source   destination
    ACCEPT     all      a:b:c::  anywhere    MAC01:02:03:04:05:06

Then:
    # ip6tables -L test | jc --iptables
    [{"chain":"test",
      "rules":[
          {"target":"ACCEPT",
           "prot":"all",
           "opt":"a:b:c::",
           "source":"anywhere",
           "destination":"MAC01:02:03:04:05:06"
          }]
    }]

which as you can see is wrong simply because whitespaces are considered
as a column delimiter.

[ Florian: added 'Link' for more background info.
  The '--' difference exists for > 20 years, but changing it
  appears to be least intrusive option. ]
