Hello,

Please let me know how you feel about this relatively simple patch which
aims at making the "resolver" directive more robust with regards to the
"ipv6=" option when Nginx is built without IPv6 support.

Thanks!

Resolver: ignore ipv6=off resolver option when no ipv6 support

Makes the resolver directive more robust: we only error out when ipv6
resolution is desired but not supported (ipv6=on).

use case 1: some configurations are sometimes re-used between builds with and without ipv6 support. This patch avoids the need to remove the "ipv6=off" flag.

use case 2: currently, some tools rely on the --with-ipv6 configure option from
"nginx -V" to determine if ipv6 resolution should be disabled in some cases.
With this option disappearing in Nginx 1.11.5, this patch would allow such tools
to assume "ipv6=off" to be safe regardless of ipv6 support in the current
build.
