Essentially, I'm trying to do GRE-over-Wireguard and need some kind of
addressing within the Wireguard tunnel. These addresses should not
collide with anything else in the tunnel endpoint's (unpredictable)
network environment. So IPv6 link-local addresses are the perfect
candidate here because the scope makes address collisions (across
interfaces of the same machine) impossible.

Anyway, this isn't supported right now according to Ben Pfaff's
response. So I will either have to use ULA addresses (more complex
because every tunnel endpoint needs to be configured with the same
random ULA prefix) or create the GRE tunnels using `ip` and then add
them to my OVS bridge as system interfaces (probably more CPU-overhead
compared to OVS-managed GRE tunnels?).
