Enable IPv6 on dumps.wikimedia.org

Description

To whom it may concern,

0) PROBLEM

Most of the WMF sites have IPv6 addresses. For example:

(shell)$ dig www.mediawiki.org AAAA
text-lb.eqiad.wikimedia.org. 1393 IN   AAAA    2620:0:861:ed1a::1
(shell)$ dig lists.wikimedia.org [lists.wikimedia.org] AAAA
lists.wikimedia.org.    31      IN      AAAA   2620:0:861:1::2
(shell)$ dig en.wikipedia.org [en.wikipedia.org] AAAA
text-lb.eqiad.wikimedia.org. 1459 IN   AAAA    2620:0:861:ed1a::1

However, <dumps.wikimedia.org> does *not* have an IPv6 address. 
This is a problem for those on IPv6 only nets.

1) REQUEST

Please assign an IPv6 address for <dumps.wikimedia.org>.

Sincerely Yours,
Kent

Those exist already? ;)

Obviously there's 2 parts to this. Assigning of the IPv6 address to dumps, and making sure lighttpd is listening on ipv6 too

Please also assign an IPv6 address for <wikitech.wikimedia.org>.

This task has not been resolved.
It is still not possible to access <dumps.wikimedia.org> from an IPv6 network.
This is due to lack of name resolution.

(shell)$ dig dumps.wikimedia.org AAAA
;; ANSWER SECTION:
dumps.wikimedia.org. 3113 IN CNAME dataset1001.wikimedia.org.
(shell)$ dig -x 2620:0:861:1:20a:f7ff:fe5d:a020/64
[this has no ANSWER section]

^ so that part is good, we now have a "mapped" IPv6 address on the interface (you can see how the v4 address appears in it).

i'm going to add the DNS change
