Description
I just noticed ipfs announces almost all addresses to the swam. This is kind of annoying with ipv6 privacy extensions enabled, because there will be a bunch of deprecated addresses that should not be used for new connections anymore:
```
...
inet6 2xxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx/64 scope global temporary deprecated dynamic
valid_lft 11814sec preferred_lft 0sec
...
```

No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by locating the Go code that discovers and announces local network addresses, then reproduce the IPv6 privacy-extension case from the issue. Done means deprecated addresses are excluded from announcements and coverage verifies that behavior.
