[mat-wg] IPv6 extension headers support on RIPE Atlas

[ This is a outcome of some online&offline discussions we have had on IETF8 ]

There are some ongoing efforts to measure IPv6 extension headers
filtering in the Internet (in particular, see Fernando Gont's talk:

http://www.iepg.org/2013-11-ietf88/fgont-iepg-ietf88-ipv6-frag-and-eh.pdf
)

While individuals are running some experiments from their networks,
I think it would be extremely useful to run distributed measurements
using Atlas to understand the current situation and possible impact
better.

Therefore it would be great if Atlas supports:
- inserting Ipv6 extension headers into probe packets. Ideally user
should be allowed to define a chain of extension headers as specified
in RFC2460. In particular, it would be nice to insert the following
headers:
 -- Hop-by-Hop Options
 -- Fragment
 -- Destination Options

- HTTP measurements (Tim, please add particular requirements if you have any).

If anyone else would like to see such features supported by Atlas -
please speak up!
