Current version of qperf throws errors in environment with only ipv4 address

    With ipv6.disable in kernel command line ipv6 protocol is disabled and qperf throws below error in such environments :

    # qperf
    unable to bind to listen port

    With qperf version 0.4.9 we defined AI_FAMILY as AF_UNSPEC, starting
    qperf 0.4.11 the same is changed to AF_INET6 which causes issues
    when ipv6 is disabled at protocol layer (as a kernel command line
    arguement). This patch reverses the behavior.
