Subject: [PATCH net 1/4] netlink: specs: fou: change local-v6/peer-v6 check

While fixing the binary min-len implementaion, I noticed that
the only user, should AFAICT be using exact-len instead.

In net/ipv4/fou_core.c FOU_ATTR_LOCAL_V6 and FOU_ATTR_PEER_V6
are only used for singular IPv6 addresses, a exact-len policy,
therefore seams like a better fit.

AFAICT this was caused by lacking support for the exact-len check
at the time of the blamed commit, which was later remedied by
c63ad379526 ("tools: ynl-gen: add support for exact-len validation").

This patch therefore changes the local-v6/peer-v6 attributes to
use an exact-len check, instead of a min-len check.

Fixes: 4eb77b4ecd3c ("netlink: add a proto specification for FOU")
