Support IPv6 link-local address scopes on Linux.
I hadn't even heard of this feature before, but it seems to be at least
semi-standard to support Linux link-local address scopes via a % suffix,
e.g. fe80::1234%eth0 for a link-local address scoped to eth0. This commit
adds support.
I'd appreciate feedback from folks who understand this feature better than
me.
