Trustin Lee 9fef4ba1bf Disable IPv6 address lookups when -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true
Motivation:

According to the Oracle documentation:

> java.net.preferIPv4Stack (default: false)
>
> If IPv6 is available on the operating system, the underlying native
> socket will be an IPv6 socket. This allows Java applications to connect
> to, and accept connections from, both IPv4 and IPv6 hosts.
>
> If an application has a preference to only use IPv4 sockets, then this
> property can be set to true. The implication is that the application
> will not be able to communicate with IPv6 hosts.

which means, if DnsNameResolver returns an IPv6 address, a user (or
Netty) will not be able to connect to it.

Modifications:

- Move the code that retrieves java.net.prefer* properties from
  DnsNameResolver to NetUtil
- Add NetUtil.isIpV6AddressesPreferred()
- Revise the API documentation of NetUtil.isIpV*Preferred()
- Set the default resolveAddressTypes to IPv4 only when
  NetUtil.isIpv4StackPreferred() returns true

Result:

- Fixes #5657
