resolv: IPv6 link local addresses do not accept dash as a valid zone_id character

Description

The support for IPv6 link local addresses was added to resolv here.

However, it does not take into account a zone_id with a dash (-) in it, just digits and letters (uppercase and lowercase). One could use the name of the network interface as zone_id and this one might contain a dash. For instance, in my system running Ubuntu I have tap-5f507d638e8 and bridges like br-dd8d2dfaa7eb, those could be used as zone_id.

According to the RFC it is not mandatory to accept dash as a valid zone_id character but I believe this is a valid use case and resolv should support it. I found this out trying to build version 3.0.2 in Debian, and since my system contains some network interfaces with dash, the TestResolvAddr::test_valid_socket_ip_address_list was failing:

Applying the patch below fixed the issue for me:

Thanks for the link Jeremy. I tried to find a similar bug here but I did not look for any PR on Github, sorry for that, I thought this was the right venue to submit the patch.

I am happy if we can get this fixed soon, no matter which patch the maintainer wants to apply.
