Bug Description

1) fe80::/64 is required to be present on every link (by the IPv6 specification)
2) We don't model it at all
3) It is perfectly valid to route via addresses on that network
4) it's not uncommon to have (e.g.) fe80::1 as a default route for all of the networks in a datacenter ("whatever the right one is, kthx.)

Ergo, we should allow fe80::/64 addresses as the default gateway.
