Fix parsing of IPv6 addresses with peer from netlink.

Browse Source 
In the most common case, an IPv6 address doesn't have a peer and the
IFA_ADDRESS netlink attribute contains the address itself.

But if the address has a peer (typically for point to point links),
then IFA_ADDRESS contains the peer address and IFA_LOCAL contains the
address [1].

Fix the parsing of IPv6 addresses with peers, as currently dnsmasq
unsuccessfully tries to bind on the peer address.

A simple reproducer is:

  dnsmasq --conf-file=/dev/null -i dummy1 -d --bind-dynamic &
  sleep 2
  ip link add dummy1 type dummy
  ip link set dummy1 up
  ip addr add dev dummy1 fd01::1/64 peer fd01::2/64
  ip addr add dev dummy1 fd01::42/64
  sleep 2
  ss -lnp | grep dnsmasq | grep fd01

Before the patch:
  dnsmasq: failed to create listening socket for fd01::2: Cannot assign requested address
  dnsmasq: failed to create listening socket for fd01::2: Cannot assign requested address
  udp   UNCONN 0   [fd01::42]:53   [::]:*    users:(("dnsmasq",pid=23947,fd=14))
  tcp   LISTEN 0   [fd01::42]:53   [::]:*    users:(("dnsmasq",pid=23947,fd=15

After:
  udp   UNCONN 0   [fd01::42]:53   [::]:*    users:(("dnsmasq",pid=23973,fd=16))
  udp   UNCONN 0    [fd01::1]:53   [::]:*    users:(("dnsmasq",pid=23973,fd=14))
  tcp   LISTEN 0   [fd01::42]:53   [::]:*    users:(("dnsmasq",pid=23973,fd=17))
  tcp   LISTEN 0    [fd01::1]:53   [::]:*    users:(("dnsmasq",pid=23973,fd=15))
