check_ircd: IPv6 support (#1995)
The prior bindRemote function was restricted to IPv4 by explicitly using
address family specific functions as pack_sockaddr_in or unparametrized
gethostbyname. Since Perl 5.14, released in early 2013, there is
IO::Socket::IP, which supports lookups and connects for a dual stacked
network.
By switching the connection establishment code, the plugin is now able
to establish connections to IPv6-only hosts. Furthermore, additional -4
and -6 flags were introduced to enforce a specific address family.
