Bug Description

Ironic has a config 'use_ipv6' in ironic.netconf.py:

    cfg.BoolOpt('use_ipv6',
                default=False,
                help='Use IPv6.'),

but it isn't used, so it has no effect, and in fact, is misleading because someone may set it to True and think that it works :-(

There is a bug open for "Ironic should support IPv6".

In the meantime, I think we should remove the config.

    Delete unused 'use_ipv6' config option

    The 'use_ipv6' config option is not being used, and Ironic doesn't support
    IPv6 (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ironic/+bug/1325942). Someone may
    try to set this value to True, and that wouldn't do anything, so it is
    better to delete it and add it back in the future when IPv6 is supported.

    I'm not sure it needs a DocImpact since it never worked, but I'll tag
    it, just in case we want to document that "the 'use_ipv6' config option
    was deleted because it never worked".
