Normally you are supposed to fall back to IPv4 when an IPv6 connection
fails. But there is no way to do that if you use
open-network-stream-nowait: connect will just return EINPROGRESS, and the
actual connect failure which would otherwise cause make-network-process to
try the next address returned by getaddrinfo is reported as a genuine
error to the process sentinel.
