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

My opinion is that yes, we perhaps should not create packet generators that send line-rate with small packets with these headers "because we can", but I see little reason not to generally create a test that perhaps does a few pps (or less) of sending these packets (all combinations of headers) to test what happens.

wouldn't it be sufficient to support the fragment header initially?
hop-by-hop we expect to be severely rate limited anyway, and RH0 is probably blocked.
let's be able to test the one that actually matters.
