Subject: KNOWN_BUGS: remove "--interface for ipv6 binds to unusable IP address"

KNOWN_BUGS: remove "--interface for ipv6 binds to unusable IP address"

Since years back the "if2ip" function verifies that it binds to a local IPv6
address that uses the same scope as the remote address.

This is not a bug.

Fixes #686
Closes #9998

  This makes '--local-port [range]' to not work since curl can't properly
