Hello,

FYI, recently IPv6 scoped addr format is changed on KAME
repository, so the change is also merged to 4.0.

The scoped addr format is typically used for IPv6 link local addr.

  before:   addr@scope
  after:    scope%addr

Before change, they were printed like this,

  %netstat -r -f inet6
  Routing tables

  Internet6:
  Destination        Gateway            Flags      Netif Expire
  localhost          localhost          UH          lo0
  fe80::@xl0         link#1             UC          xl0
  fe80::@lo0         fe80::1@lo0        Uc          lo0
  fe80::@gif0        fe80::210:5af Uc         gif0

After the change, they are printed like this,

  Internet6:
  Destination        Gateway            Flags      Netif Expire
  localhost          localhost          UH          lo0
  xl0%fe80::         link#1             UC          xl0
  lo0%fe80::         lo0%fe80::1        Uc          lo0
  gif0%fe80::        gif0%fe80::210:5af Uc         gif0

The change from '@' to '%' is to prevent the confusion with
existent notations such as user@host.

And IPv6 addr is long and tend to be truncated at the end just
seen as above gif0 Gateway, so placing scope part at the top
of addr will be convenient.
