[Bug libc/9981] New: getaddrinfo prefers listening on ipv4-only over ipv4+ipv6

[aurelien at aurel32 dot net]

The current getaddrinfo code prefers listening on ipv4-only instead of 
ipv4+ipv6 as previously. The gaitest.c file demonstrates the problem.

On a machine with both ipv4 and ipv6 connectivity, it returns:
        * ipv4 (only)
        * ipv6+ipv4

Listening for ipv6 connections never hurts, even if no one will ever
reach the server via ipv6.

The sort ipv4 and then ipv6 is done by rule 5, when matching the label.

It seems this rule should be ignored when dealing with wildcard addresses. 
Maybe got_source_addr should not be set to true for wildcard addresses.
