[issue14855] IPv6 support for logging.handlers

[Yuriy Syrovetskiy]

New submission from Yuriy Syrovetskiy <cblp at cblp.su>:

IPv4 operations may fail on IPv6 systems, and vice versa. So we have to create sockets with the proper address family.

Maybe this behaviour could be incapsulated in socket object, but didn't find a good way to do it.

No documentation changed, because I just eliminate lack of implementation of already documented feature.

Please help to write tests.

I worked on the 3.2 branch, because the default branch has broken test_logging.
