In some situations, it was possible that a transfer was setup to use an specific IP version, but due do DNS caching or connection reuse, it ended up using a different IP version from requested. This commit changes the effect of CURLOPT_IPRESOLVE from simply restricting address resolution to preventing the wrong connection type being used, when choosing a connection from the pool, and to restricting what addresses could be used when establishing a new connection. It is important that all addresses versions are resolved, even if not used in that transfer in particular, because the result is cached, and could be useful for a different transfer with a different CURLOPT_IPRESOLVE setting. Closes #6853
