    resolver: don't depend on v4mapped ipv6 to probe routability of v4 addrs · 4f35eb75

    to produce sorted results roughly corresponding to RFC 3484/6724,
    __lookup_name computes routability and choice of source address via
    dummy UDP connect operations (which do not produce any packets). since
    at the logical level, the properties fed into the sort key are
    computed on ipv6 addresses, the code was written to use the v4mapped
    ipv6 form of ipv4 addresses and share a common code path for them all.
    however, on kernels where ipv6 support has been completely omitted,
    this causes ipv4 to appear equally unroutable as ipv6, thereby putting
    unreachable ipv6 addresses before ipv4 addresses in the results.
    
    instead, use only ipv4 sockets to compute routability for ipv4
    addresses. some gratuitous conversion back and forth is left so that
    the logic is not affected by these changes. it may be possible to
    simplify the ipv4 case considerably, thereby reducing code size and
    complexity.
