[Bug libc/4647] New: deleting the last ipv6 nameserver from resolv.conf causes resolving to cease working

[tjanouse at redhat dot com]

Having one (or more) ipv6 nameservers in resolv.conf and then removing it and
calling res_init to reread it causes resolver to stop working, because an IPv4
socket is created and and connected to an IPv6 sockaddr.

I'm attaching a reproducer and a proposed fix (I did not test it but I believe
it provides a pretty good idea of why is that happening).
