Is there any chance of enabling ipv6 support in avahi for testing?

I think it was disabled in the past due to lack of ipv6 support in various parts of Kodi, but a quick look over suggests that there's no current compatibility problems with Kodi it's self.

It does however seem to be causing me a problem with trying to run an ipv6 network, with some mdns clients ignoring ipv4 service broadcasts from ipv6 hosts.

Enabling it on test would allow for a shakedown to identify anything that still breaks with ipv6.

I can provide you with a one-off experimental build if you have a patch that you want applied. I can see that ipv6 was disabled for avahi 6 years ago but (not surprisingly) the code base has changed and it's not simply a case of reverting this commit, so if you want ipv6 enabled for avahi you'll need to provide a patch I can build with.
