Standardized IPv6 ULA from PublicKey

[Justin Kilpatrick]

I'm assigning fe80 addresses derived from device MAC addresses for my own Babel + WireGuard use case.

To chip in on this I don't think WireGuard should add any 'auto-magical' behavior into it's core code. There are significant advantages to keeping core WireGuard ultra lean and pushing complexity into configuration scripts and separate programs.

That being said adding an fe80 address as a standard for setup scripts (wg-quick) seems like a good idea.
