ipv6: Do not assign non-valid address on interface.
Check the type of the address when adding a new one on interface. - the unspecified address (::) is always disallowed (RFC4291 2.5.2) - the loopback address is disallowed unless the interface is (one of) loopback (RFC4291 2.5.3). - multicast addresses are disallowed.
