core/socket.c: Fix socket binding on IPv4-only hosts
Let's add the AI_ADDRCONFIG flag to prevent getaddrinfo() from returning
IPv6 addresses on sytems that have no IPv6.
From the manpage:
> If hints.ai_flags includes the AI_ADDRCONFIG flag, then IPv4
> addresses are returned in the list pointed to by res only if the local
> system has at least one IPv4 address configured, and IPv6 addresses are
> returned only if the local system has at least one IPv6 address
> configured. The loopback address is not considered for this case as
> valid as a configured address. *This flag is useful on, for example,
> IPv4-only systems, to ensure that getaddrinfo() does not return IPv6
> socket addresses that would always fail in connect(2) or bind(2).*
