[Qemu-devel] [PULL v1 2/5] sockets: don't block IPv4 clients when listening on "::"

["Daniel P. Berrange" <berrange@redhat.com>]

When inet_parse() parses the hostname, it is forcing the
has_ipv6 && ipv6 flags if the address contains a ":". This
means that if the user had set the ipv4=on flag, to try to
restrict the listener to just ipv4, an error would not have
been raised.  eg

   -incoming tcp:[::]:9000,ipv4

should have raised an error because listening for IPv4
on "::" is a non-sensical combination. With this removed,
we now call getaddrinfo() on "::" passing PF_INET and
so getaddrinfo reports an error about the hostname being
incompatible with the requested protocol:

 qemu-system-x86_64: -incoming tcp:[::]:9000,ipv4: address resolution
    failed for :::9000: Address family for hostname not supported

Likewise it is explicitly setting the has_ipv4 & ipv4
flags when the address contains only digits + '.'. This
has no ill-effect, but also has no benefit, so is removed.
