spice-server sets "ai.ai_flags = AI_PASSIVE | AI_ADDRCONFIG", which
should make getaddrinfo() pick something reasonable, specifically listen
on ipv6 only if the machine actually has ipv6 connectivity.
I don't think that listening on IPv6 exclusively is good when the host
has both IPv4 and IPv6 connectivity. Think about dual stack setups where
the spice-server host is defined by host name that can resolve to both
IPv6 and IPv4 addresses.

I think this is the behavior we want here.

Works today.

Trivially to add, see patch.

Works today indeed.
cheers,
