Description

**Description**

While refactoring a PacketImpact test for UDP sockets, I found a discrepancy with Linux.

When bound to an IPv4 address and sending to an IPv6 address, sendto returns `EINVAL` whereas Linux returns `EAFNOSUPPORT`.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run test `//third_party/gvisor/test/packetimpact/tests:generic_dgram_socket_send_recv_test` with the if statement linked to this bug removed.
