Document GNU libc lossage in listen_addr doc string

Browse source 
Systems using GNU libc such as Linux are frequently configured in a
way getaddrinfo(NULL, ...) put the IPv4 wildcard "0.0.0.0" *before*
the IPv6 wildcard "::" in the result.  Because of that, listen_addr ""
listens only on all IPv4 addresses.  Workaround: listen_addr "::".

Document it in listen_addr's doc string.
