Better handling of global addresses as configured NBMA neighbors in OSPFv3.
Configured NBMA neighbors in OSPFv3 should be link-local addresses, old
behavior was to silently ignore global ones. The patch allows BIRD to
accept global ones, but adds a warning and a documentation notice.
Thanks to Wilco Baan Hofman for the bugreport.
