[Bug network/12377] getaddrinfo() should disregard link-local IPv6 addresses for AI_ADDRCONFIG purposes

Forget this please and read it as:

This problem is caused by using AI_ADDRCONFIG by applications and by GLIBC's
bug that prevents even IP literals from working correctly. Please default to
AI_ADDRCONFIG. Please re-think the whole AI_ADDRCONFIG idea as it seems to be
an ugly and fragile hack.
