I started looking into this after seeing

  FAIL: virnetsockettest

during a Debian package build.

Just a few days ago, this issue was discussed in

  https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2020/07/msg00070.html

and libvirt was mentioned explicitly as a package that could be
affected by it.

Reproducing the issue is quite simple: just remove all IPv4
addresses *except* the one assigned to 'lo', and you'll see it
immediately. The problem seems to be that, in this configuration,
virNetSocketCheckProtocols() reports that both IPv4 and IPv6 are
available, but XML-RPC is apparently not happy with that.

I'm pretty bad at networking, so I'm reporting this in the hope that
someone else will figure it out O:-)

Anyway, there's another scenario that I found while digging: if you
remove *all* IPv4 addresses, *including* the one assigned to 'lo',
you get a different failure. My patch addresses this last one.
