[neighsync] Ignoring IPv4 link local addresses (sonic-net#2260)

* [neighsync] Ignoring IPv4 link local addresses Skipping over writing ipv4 link local neighbors to APPL_DB. This was causing link local neighbors to appear and led to long switchover times during mux state change. Signed-off-by: Nikola Dancejic <ndancejic@microsoft.com>
