When the local link address is changed, send out gratuitous ARPs

Browse Source 
to notify other nodes about the address change. Otherwise, they
might try and keep using the old address until their arp table
entry times out and the address is refreshed.

Maybe this ought to be done for INET6 addresses as well but i have
no idea how to do it. It should be pretty straightforward though.
