Before this change the library will always crash with "SocketException: no route to host" when used on IPv6 interface with a scoped address e.g.[FE80::1%1]. The root cause was because the multicast address for IPv6 didn't specify a scope ID for such cases. This commit fixes it by first checking if the local endpoint is an IPv6 link local, if true, it will create and use a scoped multicast address for mdns. The resulting multicast address is then stored for reuse.
