configure.ac: Test IPv6 compatibility instead of relying on library p…

…robes (#206)

Legacy configure behaviour was to detect IPv6 support through known IPv6
capable version of common standard libraries. Now: it runs a POSIX test
to determine if IPv6 is usable (in case it has not been disabled).

Patch originally from Pierre-Olivier Mercier <nemunaire@nemunai.re>.
