This PR will enable IPv6 fully if available. It was not enabled before as users were confronted with an error message when testssl.sh wanted (also) to scan IPv6 before but routing/configuration or whatsoever issues prevented that. This has been solved by introducing the function `shouldwedo_ipv6()` which checks whether we can reach the target via IPv6 -- tracked be the global IPv6_OK. The change is in line with tools like wget or curl in a sense that if IPv6 works it is just being used. Formally testssl.sh had to be instructed via -6 cmdline option, like nmap. * \-6 is now the switch to do IPv6 scans only * \-4 is now the switch to do IPv4 scans only The latter is a *breaking change*, as the cmdline option meant before to check for RC4 ciphers. Also HAS_IPv6, synonymous to -6 before, does not exist anymore. As the command line option `--connect-timeout` seemed rather unspecific, it has been replaced by `--socket-timeout, also all internal variables. Todo: * man pages * dashed lines appear too long
* IPv6 addresses which won't be scanned will be put in round brackets to feedback th UI * logic bug fixed which always said "Testing all IPv4 addresses (port $PORT):". Simplyfied the MULTIPLE_CHECKS output
