IPv6 support

-IPv6 has received some limited testing and should work. Problems with -libvirt and IPv6 should be reported as bugs. +The libvirtd service and libvirt remote client driver both use the +getaddrinfo() functions for name resolution and are +thus fully IPv6 enabled. ie, if a server has IPv6 address configured +the daemon will listen for incoming connections on both IPv4 and IPv6 +protocols. If a client has an IPv6 address configured and the DNS +address resolved for a service is reachable over IPv6, then an IPv6 +connection will be made, otherwise IPv4 will be used. In summary it +should just 'do the right thing(tm)'.

Limitations
