net: make Dial("tcp", ln.Addr().String()) work even with bad IPv6 config
Some machines can be configured (or came/come configured) in such a state that IPv6 only half works: you can bind on [::]:n but not connect back to it. This implements a fallback such that it's guaranteed that this pattern works: ln, err := Listen("tcp", ":0") ... addr := ln.Addr().String() // "[::]:n" c, err := Dial("tcp", addr) ... which is also now tested. It will first try to dial "[::]:n", as before, but if that dial fails, it will also try "0.0.0.0:n". Fixes #18806 (contains more details) Fixes #20611 (I was going to fix nacl later, but it was easy enough) Change-Id: I1107eb197e902ae8185c781ad1bc4e2bc61d1f4c Reviewed-on: https://go-review.googlesource.com/45088 Reviewed-by: Paul Marks <pmarks@google.com>
