Brian Haley 876c7f4196 [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.
