Add IPv6 support

new cli options (RPC ones also apply to wallet):
  --p2p-bind-ipv6-address (default = "::")
  --p2p-bind-port-ipv6    (default same as ipv4 port for given nettype)
  --rpc-bind-ipv6-address (default = "::1")

  --p2p-use-ipv6          (default false)
  --rpc-use-ipv6          (default false)

  --p2p-require-ipv4      (default true, if ipv4 bind fails and this is
                           true, will not continue even if ipv6 bind
                           successful)
  --rpc-require-ipv4      (default true, description as above)

ipv6 addresses are to be specified as "[xx:xx:xx::xx:xx]:port" except
in the cases of the cli args for bind address.  For those the square
braces can be omitted.
