DHCPv6 Prefix Delegation (PD) not installing routes
100%
Description
pfSense successfully hands out PDs, but does not install a route for them. This effectively causes traffic to black hole at the pfSense host, and not return to LAN hosts.
Issue occurred after upgrading to 23.05-RELEASE, and wasn't present in 23.01-RELEASE.
Scenario: pfSense receives /56 from ISP (WAN), and is configured within DHCPv6 to hand out /60s via LAN interface.
PD issuance:
/var/log/dhcpd.log:May 24 17:10:30 router dhcpd[34360]: Picking pool prefix 2600:xxxx:4f0::/60 /var/log/dhcpd.log:May 24 17:10:30 router dhcpd[34360]: Advertise PD: address 2600:xxxx:4f0::/60 to client with duid xxxx iaid = 1 valid for 7200 seconds
Post PD routing table, note lack of route for /60:
23.05-RELEASE][xxxx@router]/home/xxxx: netstat -6rn | grep em1 2600:xxxx:400::/64 link#2 U em1 ...
Rolled back to 23.01-RELEASE, note existence of /60:
[23.01-RELEASE][xxxx@router]/home/xxxx: netstat -6rn | grep em1 2600:xxxx:400::/64 link#2 U em1 2600:xxxx:4f0::/60 2600:xxxx:35d5 UGS em1 ...

Looks like this is happening because dhcpleases6 was removed from the base install in b63b534cb5fb10347f7fdc87818ac537de42ef0f and ports commit f17be094c2d8474cd89ef8d45679a05a42fe8286 but I don't see anything that replaced it yet for handling the routes. That used to fire off the prefixes.php script which handled the delegated routes.
It's possible I missed what should be doing that now, but even so, that would be a bug in whichever daemon is supposed to be monitoring the DHCPv6 leases.

For another confirmation point, I upgraded my edge to 23.09 dev snapshots and dhcpleases6 is running and I have route table entries for delegated prefixes again.
