2.x.x and radtest: no IPv6?

Uh. Sorry.

Still... maybe for a later version... if the input looks like an IP
address, guessing the address family isn't all that hard.

I see that such a -4 -6 option is required for hostnames, but even then
only if they return addresses for both families.

ipv6-localhost only returns ::1. And ::1 successfully parses neither as
an IPv4, nor a hostname, but as an IPv6 address. Both are unambiguous
and could be auto-detected.

That would add a little user-friendliness for users who didn't have
enough sleep :-)
