net: don't return IPv4 unspecified addr for Resolve*Addr of [::] or [::]:n

ResolveTCPAddr, ResolveUDPAddr, and ResolveIPAddr return at most one
address. When given a name like "golang.org" to resolve that might
have more than 1 address, the net package has historically preferred
IPv4 addresses, with the assumption that many users don't yet have
IPv6 connectivity and randomly selecting between an IPv4 address and
an IPv6 address at runtime wouldn't be a good experience for IPv4-only
users.

In CL 45088 (78cf0e56) I modified the resolution of the
unspecified/empty address to internally resolve to both IPv6 "::" and
0.0.0.0 to fix issue #18806.

That code has 3 other callers I hadn't considered, though: the
Resolve*Addr functions. Since they preferred IPv4, any Resolve*Addr of
"[::]:port" or "::" (for ResolveIPAddr) would internally resolve both
"::" and 0.0.0.0 and then prefer 0.0.0.0, even though the user was
looking up an IPv6 literal.

Add tests and fix it, not by undoing the fix to #18806 but by
selecting the preference function for Resolve*Addr more explicitly: we
still prefer IPv4, but if the address being looked up was an IPv6
literal, prefer IPv6.

The tests are skipped on machines without IPv6.

Fixes #20911
