* Multicast addresses are never valid as local address

local address is link-local as well
* Don't allow link-local IPv6 local/remote addresses without interface

We also store in the flags field if link-local addresses are used for the
follow-up patches that actually make VXLAN over link-local IPv6 work.

v2: was "vxlan: don't allow link-local IPv6 local/remote addresses without
interface" before. v2 does a lot more checks and adds the
VXLAN_F_IPV6_LINKLOCAL flag.
