With this PR, individual modules don't have to bother any more whether either IPv4 or IPv6 has been enabled and supported. This means that if you have a rule that could apply to both IPv4 and IPv6, you can just do:
firewall::rule {
destination => '127.0.0.1',
destination_v6 => '::1',
enable_v4 => true, # (default)
enable_v6 => true, # (default)
}
And if the OS supports IPv4 only, the ipv6 rule will be discarded, and if ipv4 is not supported, then only an ipv6 rule will be added.
