Description
The code that we currently use for sending requests to peer routers for prefix exchange uses hyper and manual message construction.
This is because progenitor-based clients do not currently support scoped v6 addresses.
When this is addressed, we should switch to using a progenitor-based client to get more compile time safety and make things less error prone.

Research direction
Start by checking progenitor issue 296 to confirm scoped IPv6 address support, then inspect ddm/src/exchange.rs at the linked lines. The work is complete when prefix-exchange requests use a progenitor-based client instead of hyper and manual message construction.
