Listen on IPv6 addresses and support AAAA records #39

Description

@fhunleth

IPv6 has one feature that's really nice and that's the ability to start with an IPv6 address already assigned and not need a DHCP server to work. IPv4 can do a similar thing with Link Local addressing, but that usually only works after DHCP fails.

It looks like the following changes are required for IPv6 support:

  1. Remove the filter that prevents responders from being started on IPv6 addresses
  2. Change the call to gen_udp to listen on the mDNS IPv6 address
  3. Use AAAA records instead of A ones
