Currently, when instructed to open an IPv6 socket, sock_l4() explicitly
sets the IPV6_V6ONLY socket option so that the socket will only respond to
IPv6 connections. Linux (and probably other platforms) allow "dual stack"
sockets: IPv6 sockets which can also accept IPv4 connections.
Extend sock_l4() to be able to make such sockets, by passing AF_UNSPEC as
the address family and no bind address (binding to a specific address would
defeat the purpose). We add a Makefile define 'DUAL_STACK_SOCKETS' to
indicate availability of this feature on the target platform.
