[IPv6]: Change IPv6 unspecified destination address to ::1 for raw and un-connected sockets
This patch fixes a difference between IPv4 and IPv6 when sending packets
to the unspecified address (either 0.0.0.0 or ::) when using raw or
un-connected UDP sockets. There are two cases where IPv6 either fails
to send anything, or sends with the destination address set to ::. For
example:
--> ping -c1 0.0.0.0
PING 0.0.0.0 (127.0.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.032 ms
--> ping6 -c1 ::
PING ::(::) 56 data bytes
ping: sendmsg: Invalid argument
Doing a sendto("0.0.0.0") reveals:
10:55:01.495090 IP localhost.32780 > localhost.7639: UDP, length 100
Doing a sendto("::") reveals:
10:56:13.262478 IP6 fe80::217:8ff:fe7d:4718.32779 > ::.7639: UDP, length 100
If you issue a connect() first in the UDP case, it will be sent to ::1,
similar to what happens with TCP.
This restores the BSD-ism.
