WireGuard Component: IPv6 Support

I'm requesting IPv6 support for the WireGuard Component.

The WireGuard Component works just fine however IPv4 local addressing has a limited IP space and it's relatively easy to run into situation where the local network IP range and the VPN range will collide breaking things.

By using IPv6 we can avoid those issues all together. An ULA range for a IPv6 VPN network generated like defined in RFC 4193, while not mathematically guaranteed to be globally unique, has an extremely small probability of collision.

This request may also be related to https://github.com/esphome/feature-requests/issues/718

Thank you.
