We stopped supporting IPv6 as an optional feature in the toolchain, and
made it mandatory. So, to go in the same direction, I would suggest to
simply always enable IPv6 in libwebsockets.

What is the size overhead of enabling IPv6 ? If it's reasonable, then
we want IPv6 to be unconditionally enabled.

Best regards,

Thomas
