[UDPv6]: Enforce mandatory checksums as per RFC 2460

The current behaviour of computing outgoing checksums is not
compliant with RFC 2460, as per section 8.1:

 "Unlike IPv4, when UDP packets are originated by an IPv6 node,
  the UDP checksum is not optional.  That is, whenever
  originating a UDP packet, an IPv6 node must compute a UDP
  checksum over the packet and the pseudo-header, [...]"

This modification hence enforces to ignore sk_no_check on UDPv6.
