core: allow IPv4 to fail by default
(comments by dcbw)
This allows out-of-the-box connectivity on IPv6-only networks.
Once caveat is that connections where the user currently
expects no IPv4 connectivity to terminate the connection and
retry will no longer do so until IPv6 also times out, and if
that network where IPv4 is expected to fail also has an IPv6
router sending advertisements, the connection will succeed
instead of failing. That can be resolved by setting the
right bit in the connection's config file; and it's expected
that the number of users who expect IPv4 failure on a
network with usable IPv6 connectivity is quite small
compared to the benefit of OOB IPv6 connectivity.
