[New-bugs-announce] [issue24209] Allow IPv6 bind in http.server

[Link Mauve]

New submission from Link Mauve:

When running `python -m http.server -b ::` (or any other IPv6), I’d expect people to be able to download from my IPv6.

This patch fixes that issue.

I also tested it on a dual-stack kernel, IPv4 requests work just fine and appear as ::ffff:127.0.0.1 for example.
