[ipv6] Regarding 8220673: Add test library support for determining platform IP support

[Arthur Eubanks]

I had just started on this yesterday.
I'll look at which of the tests we modified in our patches with ipv4/6
detection. I'm worried that some of them may be disabling test coverage
that shouldn't be disabled, but I'll have to look in more detail. Also, we
don't have a JDK at head which works in our environments, so we might miss
some failures until we've decided to have a JDK at head that works in our
environments and run all of the networking tests.

Thanks for the webrev, I'll definitely use that.
