We must add support for ipv6 when executing DNS queries (AAAA and A6 lookups) and when directly connecting using `--bootstrap`.

Research direction

Trace the DNS query path and the direct connection path used by `--bootstrap`; the issue does not name specific files or tests. Check how A/AAAA and A6 lookups and address connections are currently handled, then verify that both DNS queries and direct bootstrap connections work with IPv6.
