For a problem description see this Wikipedia article but note I am not implementing what is written there.
Minetest will simply try the second address if it hasn't received any reply after 1.8s. This is invisible to the user.
tl;dr You can now host a dual-stack server without risking that a client will prefer IPv6, fail to connect and never try via IPv4 which would have worked fine.
To do
This PR is Ready for Review.
How to test
For one, go test the normal stuff like singleplayer or connecting to a remote server.
To test fallback:
./bin/minetest --go --name test --address test14200.nekomimi.pw --verbose
