These changes force using IPv4 name resolution queries for the "IP4 only" resolve mode in IPv6-enabled dual-stack libcurl.
They protect "IPv4 only" transfers from undesired bad IPv6-related side effects and make IPv4 transfers in dual-stack libcurl behave the same way as in IPv4 single-stack libcurl.
