lwIP was recently updated in a89ac9e24a566e45bd3ffa7ef9e61e1d994616ea
to STABLE-2_2_0_RELEASE, and this introduced a change in the configuration
variable `DHCP_DOES_ARP_CHECK`, renaming it to `LWIP_DHCP_DOES_ACD_CHECK`.
This commit fixes the ports lwIP settings to use the new configuration
option.
Without this option, connecting to a WiFi access-point takes about 12.5
seconds. With this option (ie disabling DHCP ARP checks) connecting takes
about 4 seconds.
Tested on an RPI_PICO_W and PYBD_SF2.

Having IPv6 support is important, especially for IoT-Devices which might be
many, requiring individual IP-addresses. In particular direct access via
link-local addresses and having deterministic SLAAC-addresses can be quite
convenient. Also in IPv6-only networks or for connecting to IPv6-only
services, this is very useful.
For the Pico W, there is enough flash and RAM that enabling IPv6 by default
is the right choice.
Should IPv6 support in a network exist (i.e. there are Router
Advertisements), but not provide connectivity, connecting by domain name
should not be a problem as DNS will default to return the IPv4-address (if
that exists), unless reconfigured at runtime to prefer IPv6.
In any case a user can disable obtaining SLAAC-addresses with:
<nic>.ipconfig(autoconf6=False)
