Is it possible to get IPv6 address for a PcapLiveDevice

[HIGGSSAM]

Currently you have a function, PcapLiveDevice::getIPv4Address(). Is it possible to have an equivalent to return the IPv6 addresses from a live device? Thanks

PcapPlusPlus currently doesn't have this functionality but it should be fairly simple to implement. The implementation would be very similar to this: https://github.com/seladb/PcapPlusPlus/blob/master/Pcap%2B%2B/src/PcapLiveDeviceList.cpp#L264

The difference is that instead of searching for a specific IPv6 address, PcapLiveDevice::getIPv6Address() would simply return the first address available.

@HIGGSSAM would you consider adding this to PcapLiveDevice?
