Bug description:
  I've discovered a problem in lightdm XDMCP using link-local IPv6 addresses without interface index to connect to X server.
  It has been originally reported at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1322775.

  The problem can be fixed by having the XDMCP client not transmitting
  link-local addresses in the request, but if it does, lightdm XDMCP
  server can be a lot smarter if the attached patch is applied.

  It changes the X server address selection order to set the lowest
  preference to link-local addresses, even if matching the source
  address or family.

  This is not 100% full-proof: if only link-local addresses have been
  received, one of them is used anyway. In this case, a complete
  solution would be to determine and set the address interface index if
  not ambiguous.

  However, this patch fixes the problem for most of the non-pathological 
  cases.
