[PATCH] manpage: add info about IPv6 configuration to exports(5) (try #3)

[PATCH] manpage: add info about IPv6 configuration to exports(5) (try #3)

[Jeff Layton]

The parts of the exports(5) manpage that discuss IP addressing neglect
IPv6 configuration. Update to include info on how to export to IPv6
subnets and addresses, and add a line demonstrating that to the EXAMPLE
section.
