When dumping to ssh via local ipv6 address, the ssh parameter
in kdump.conf is supposed to have the form like
ssh user@fe80::cc1:8bff:fe90:b95f%eth0
where "%eth0" is an existing network interface supporting ipv6.
This commit adds documents about ssh target format in
kdump.conf and kdump.conf.5.

Isn't this standard, do we need explictly say it in documentation?
