    luci-mod-network: change ULA explanation · d1290829

    ULA as defined in RFC4193 mentioned a possible future where the L bit
    is 0 (implying some global coordinator be used). Locally generated ULA
    always have the L bit set to 1, so the prefix is always fd00::/8 (though
    ULA with the L bit set 0 or 1 are treated identically).
    
    Technically, fc00::/7 isn't a range, but a prefix which implies a range,
    conveniently partitioned by and at the L bit. A range would be correctly
    denoted as fc00::-fdff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff.
    
    The rewording avoids mention of fc00::/7. The randomly generated prefix
    in all cases starts fd.
    
    The sentences were split to ease i18n.
