Historically, if we found an interface with an IPv6 address we
did not blindly trust that host is IPv6 capable (as in we can
successfully translate IPv4 addresses) but used getaddrinfo() to
confirm it. Turns out, we have use the same argument for IPv4.
For instance, in an namespace created by the following steps,
getaddrinfo("127.0.0.1", ...) fails (demonstrating by "Socket
TCP/IPv4 Accept" test case failing in virnetsockettest):
unshare -n
ip link set lo up
ip link add dummy0 type dummy
ip link set dummy0 up
