Fix DNS resolution for hostnames that has also AAAA record

rsGetHostByName doesn't support IPv6 addresses.
Before this commit when
an hostname had both AAAA and A record rsGetHostByName retrurned success
but with 0.0.0.0 invalid address. As rsGetHostByName is not capable of
handling IPv6 (fixing it would require API change and a bunch of
refactors around) just avoid to receive IPv6 addresses on resolition, so
the correct IPv4 address is returned if present, otherwise fail
gracefully (A record not found).
