Vinícius Ferrão 02557a42b3 fix(dhcp): avoid infinite loop building IPv6 reverse zones ...

getzonesfornet() derives the number of reverse-zone nibbles as
$nibbs = $maskbits / 4, then decrements it once per hex nibble of the network
prefix. For a sub-nibble (not 4-bit-aligned) IPv6 mask $nibbs can go negative
before the padding loop, and `while ($nibbs)` then never terminates: it keeps
decrementing past zero while appending "0." to $rev, spinning forever and
growing the string until the process is killed.

Make the padding loop `while ($nibbs > 0)` so it can never run away, and
return early only when $nibbs is genuinely negative. $nibbs == 0 is the normal
nibble-aligned case (e.g. a /64) and must still emit its reverse zone.

Recovered from the unmerged lenovobuild branch (original 0e070cd2). The
original guarded with `$nibbs < 1`, which also dropped the valid $nibbs == 0
case and left standard /64 subnets with no reverse zone; corrected to
`$nibbs < 0` after lab validation on a real provisioning cluster.
