There are several network stack drivers in MdeModulePkg or NetworkPkg.
Currently, we only use the drivers from MdeModulePkg which only provides
the IPv4 support. This commit adds the IPv6 drivers in NetworkPkg into
OVMF.
Here is the table of drivers from Laszlo.
currently included related driver add or replace
from MdeModulePkg in NetworkPkg from NetworkPkg

Mtftp4Dxe Mtftp6Dxe add
Tcp4Dxe TcpDxe replace
Udp4Dxe Udp6Dxe add
UefiPxeBcDxe UefiPxeBcDxe replace
IScsiDxe IScsiDxe replace
Since the TcpDxe, UefiPxeBcDxe, and IScsiDxe drivers in NetworkPkg also
support IPv4, we replace the ones in MdeModulePkg.
To enable the IPv6 support, build OVMF with "-D NETWORK_IP6_ENABLE".
A special case is NetworkPkg/IScsiDxe. It requires openssl. For convenience,
NetworkPkg/IScsiDxe is enabled only if both IPv6 and SecureBoot are enabled.
