Context

Currently, the various backends support only IPv4-based communication (see also #204). Backends should add IPv6 support.

Proposed Solution

With the resolution of #204, backends will optionally be able to support IPv6 in addition to IPv4 through the SocketAddr enum. Each backend can add support for IPv6 as appropriate.

Alternative Solutions

Support for IPv6 adds complexity, especially in inetstack. The alternative is to not offer such support.
