[IPV6]: Add ip6_local_out

Most callers of the LOCAL_OUT chain will set the IP packet length
before doing so.  They also share the same output function dst_output.

This patch creates a new function called ip6_local_out which does all
of that and converts the appropriate users over to it.

Apart from removing duplicate code, it will also help in merging the
IPsec output path.
