feat(dhcp): include the host's IPv6 DNS resolvers in the agent's DHCP config

The agent reads a host's nameservers from the DPU's dual-stack `ServiceAddresses`, then builds the `DhcpConfig` it sends to `forge-dhcp-server`. It now splits those nameservers by family at both build sites -- the gRPC control path (`update_dhcp_via_grpc`) and the on-disk config path (`write_dhcp_v4_server_config`) -- and fills `carbide_nameservers_v6` with the IPv6 set, threaded through `from_forge_dhcp_config` and `build_server_config`.

The agent used to filter these nameservers to IPv4 and drop the IPv6 ones, with a TODO marking exactly this gap. The IPv4 path is unchanged -- it still drives the DHCPv4 option-6 nameservers -- and the IPv6 set stays inert until a delivery channel consumes it (RA RDNSS or DHCPv6, see #2644 / #1263).

Tests extend the file-path builder test to assert an IPv6 nameserver round-trips through the written config, alongside the builder's own dual-stack case.

This supports #2640.
