[IPV6]: Fix source address selection for ORCHID addresses
Skip the prefix length matching in source address selection for
orchid -> non-orchid addresses.
Overlay Routable Cryptographic Hash IDentifiers (RFC 4843,
2001:10::/28) are currenty not globally reachable. Without this
check a host with an ORCHID address can end up preferring those over
regular addresses when talking to other regular hosts in the 2001::/16
range thus breaking non-orchid connections.
