For tcp-send and http-client, you can specify an IPV4 address or a hostname, but if you pass an IPV6 address, it will work, but only by doing an unnecessary DNS lookup. For tcp-server or http-server, passing an IPV6 address will break.

Also need to add IPV6 support to dns-lookup, which only supports IPV4 lookups for now.

Need to wrap the IPV6 address classes in the bindings and update the internal ip-address-p to return whether we're looking at IPV4 or IPV6 and create the appropriate c struct to pass into the connect function.

Ok finished. Added IPV6 support to tcp-send and tcp-server. The http-* functions had it built in.

Also added IPV6 to dns-lookup. Added new :family keyword in dns-lookup, which can be used to specify the type of address you want.
