Don't setsockopt IPV6_V6ONLY under OpenBSD#226

Description

The ip6(4) man page states this:

IPV6_V6ONLY int *
[...]. With OpenBSD IPv6 sockets are always IPv6-only, so the socket option is read-only (not modifiable).

This makes ipv6 sockets practically unusable on OpenBSD.

    Actually, why is it even being set at all?

    And why is the default 0? That seems like an awful idea
