- improved the -a option. it can probe a interface automatically when
the interface wake up. it can be started anytime even when there is
no network interface on the list of intarfaces in the kernel.
- get a correct link ID for each interface at initialization
(using scope libraries if HAVE_SCOPELIB is defined).
- fill in sin6_scope_id correctly before sendmsg().
