Fixes #47583. Resolves #52287, #54807 and similar issues, without changing customer application code.
Introduces an AppContext switch
System.Net.DisableIPv6
and environment variableDOTNET_SYSTEM_NET_DISABLEIPV6
to emulate the lack of OS-level IPv6 support. This is useful to workaround dual-stack socket issues when the OS reports support of IPv6, but some other underlying infrastructure element (typically VPN) doesn't function well with IPv6 request.For consistency, this switch also impacts NameResolution and Ping, not only Sockets.
