fix(dns): Fix IPv6-only network, by checking IPv6 first if you have public address (#9443)

Work around because AF_UNSPEC does not check available addresses when
determining result.

If you have a global scope IPv6 address, then first check for IPv6 DNS result;
if you don't have an IPv6, or there is no IPv6 result, then check IPv4.

This allows IPv6-only networks to connect to dual-stack destinations, as they
will get the IPv6 address (rather than the unusable IPv4).

It also means a dual-stack host to a dual-stack destination will preference
IPv6.

There is no effect if you are on an IPv4-only network, or it is an IPv4-only
destination.
