pasta: Warn, disable matching IP version if not supported, in local mode

...instead of exiting, but only if local mode is enabled, that is, if
we couldn't find a template interface or if the user didn't specify
one.

With IPv4, we always try to set or copy an address, so check if that
fails.

With IPv6, in local mode, we rely on the link-local address that's
automatically generated inside the target namespace, and only fail
later, as we try to set up routes. Check if that fails, instead.

Otherwise, we'll fail to start if IPv6 support is not built in or
disabled by the kernel ("ipv6.disable=1" on the command line),
because, in that case, we'll try to enable local mode by default, and
then fail to set any address or route.

It would probably be more elegant to check for IP version support in
conf_ip4_local() and conf_ip6_local(), and not even try to enable
connectivity for unsupported versions, but it looks less robust than
trying and failing, as there might be other ways to disable a given
IP version.

Note that there's currently no way to disable IPv4 support on the
kernel command line, that is, there's no such thing as an
ipv4.disable boot parameter. But I guess that's due to be eventually
implemented, one day, so let's cover that case as well, also for
consistency.
