revised patch

Include correct header. Support a couple more aliases for BindAddress.

After reading more about the sockopt, I'm a bit more ambivalent about
this. The IPV6_ADDR_PREFERENCES option originated from RFC5014[1],
which is an Informational RFC. So far only Linux supports it, but the
option isn't exposed in glibc headers - you have to include the kernel
linux/in6.h header directly. It doesn't seem to be documented in any of
the socket manpages either.

IMO it might be a bit soon for OpenSSH to implement this.
