Scott Kuhl c02b93e719 nft IPv6 documentation (and other minor doc updates)
Update docs to indicate that IPv6 is supported with the nft method.

- Adds nft into the requirements.rst file.

- Update description of what happens when a hostname is used in a
  subnet.

- Add ipfw to list of methods.

- Indicate that --auto-nets does not work with IPv6. Previously this
  was only mentioned in tproxy.rst

- Clarify that we try to use "python3" on the server before trying
  "python".

sshuttle: where transparent proxy meets VPN meets ssh
=====================================================

As far as I know, sshuttle is the only program that solves the following
common case:

- Your client machine (or router) is Linux, FreeBSD, or MacOS.

- You have access to a remote network via ssh.

- You don't necessarily have admin access on the remote network.

- The remote network has no VPN, or only stupid/complex VPN
  protocols (IPsec, PPTP, etc). Or maybe you *are* the
  admin and you just got frustrated with the awful state of
  VPN tools.

- You don't want to create an ssh port forward for every
  single host/port on the remote network.

- You hate openssh's port forwarding because it's randomly
  slow and/or stupid.

- You can't use openssh's PermitTunnel feature because
  it's disabled by default on openssh servers; plus it does
  TCP-over-TCP, which has `terrible performance`_.
