This pull request allows syncthing to request an IPv6
[pinhole](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firewall_pinhole), addressing
issue #7406. This helps users who prefer to use IPv6 for hosting their
services or are forced to do so because of
[CGNAT](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrier-grade_NAT). Otherwise,
such users would have to configure their firewall manually to allow
syncthing traffic to pass through while IPv4 users can use UPnP to take
care of network configuration already.
### Testing
I have tested this in a virtual machine setup with miniupnpd running on
the virtualized router. It successfully added an IPv6 pinhole when used
with IPv6 only, an IPv4 port mapping when used with IPv4 only and both
when dual-stack (IPv4 and IPv6) is used.
Automated tests could be added for SOAP responses from the router but
automatically testing this with a real network is likely infeasible.
### Documentation
https://docs.syncthing.net/users/firewall.html could be updated to
mention the fact that UPnP now works with IPv6, although this change is
more "behind the scenes".

I'm working through linter complaints, these are some fixes. Broad
categories:
1) Ignore errors where we can ignore errors: add "_ = ..." construct.
you can argue that this is annoying noise, but apart from silencing the
linter it *does* serve the purpose of highlighting that an error is
being ignored. I think this is OK, because the linter highlighted some
error cases I wasn't aware of (starting CPU profiles, for example).
2) Untyped constants where we though we had set the type.
3) A real bug where we ineffectually assigned to a shadowed err.
4) Some dead code removed.
There'll be more of these, because not all packages are fixed, but the
diff was already large enough.
