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".

Additional Suggested Software

- If you are using systemd, sshuttle can notify it when the connection to
the remote end is established and the firewall rules are installed. For
this feature to work you must configure the process start-up type for the
sshuttle service unit to notify, as shown in the example below.
.. code-block:: ini
