Description Robin Johnson archtester

OpenRC is trying to set a broadcast value for IPv6 addresses, which is invalid.

# ip addr add 8080::212:15ff:fe06:3987/64 broadcast + dev eth3
Broadcast can be set only for IPv4 addresses

fixed in commit 8bb4b759eb23

Also detects if the user tries to pass in a broadcast value himself, and gives a sane error.
