can't bind socket: Permission denied for IPv6

Thank you for the patch, I'm now running unbound with that diagnostics patch applied, lets see 
what information we get.

I also have to mention that the error frequency decreases significantly after
applying the last patch (services/outside_network.c):

before: 1-3 error per day
after applying the patch: 1 error in 4 days

Will this be included in future unbound releases?
