Subject: [RFCv2 bluetooth-next 2/3] ipv6: add ipv6_addr_prefix_cpy

This patch adds a static inline function ipv6_addr_prefix_cpy which
copies a ipv6 address prefix(argument pfx) into the ipv6 address prefix.
The prefix len is given by plen as bits. This function mainly based on
ipv6_addr_prefix which copies one address prefix from address into a new
ipv6 address destination and zero all other address bits.

The difference is that ipv6_addr_prefix_cpy don't get a prefix from an
ipv6 address, it sets a prefix to an ipv6 address with keeping other
address bits. The use case is for context based address compression
inside 6LoWPAN IPHC header which keeping ipv6 prefixes inside a context
table to lookup address-bits without sending them.
