 Make Frontend/Backend connection works when BE is set to use IPv6 link-
 local address

 BackendServerIP6 has created by mythtv-setup will contain the scope Id.
 That scope id is only valid on the machine mythtv-setup was run on.
 We must remove that scope id before attempting to use it, as otherwise the
 connection would fail.

 IPv6 link-local addresses do cause a problem has all network interfaces
 have one. We attempt to determine the scope id by trying to connect to the
 backend using each active interfaces. Once the scope Id is found, we cache
 it for later use.

 This fixes #10921
