plan9 picked an ipv4 local address for outgoing ipv6 connection.
machine picked local=::ffff:10.192.254.99 for remote=2001:db8::1.
incoming connections from that machine worked fine.

this patch threats ipv4 addresses as unknown so they dont get
used. not sure if this function is the right place todo it or if we
should test the ifc flags for v4 instead.
probably not the right place to fix it?
