HTTP unicast not supporting IPv6

[DaAllexx]

Unfortunately, HTTP unicast streaming does not support IPv6. The ip_http directive currently only accepts ipv4 addresses, what makes ipv6 only deployments impossible. Is it possible to support ipv6 with unicast as well? for example:

# equivalent to 0.0.0.0 for ipv4
ip_http=::

# full ipv6 address
ip_http=2001:DB8:1337:42::1

Hello

When I looked into it a while ago, the dual stack ipv6/ipv4 under linux was kind of annoying to do. Usually MuMuDVB is in a private network so not a lot of people asked for ipv6

If you have any advise on how to implement I will be glad to review and include

I've implemented this in my fork, here: https://github.com/trollcop/MuMuDVB/commit/3fe7a9cc1eed21119b2a2387f7ef171f7bf5c038 It should be easy to merge once PR #290 is merged. The changes are minimal.

ipv6 http unicast has been merged to master, and I've done some testing using public ipv6 addresses. seems to work.

@DaAllexx wanna try it out and see?

I just tried it and it works as expected. Thank you!
