If socket.tcp6 was valorized (and this is the case on luasocket 3), the
tools.bind helper function effectively forced the use of IPv6 addresses.
The "ipv6-v6only" option diretly maps to IPV6_V6ONLY and it only affects
the communication of an INET6 socket:

The socket.bind API in LuaSocket 3 already handles inet and inet6 addresses, so there is no need for tools.bind:
