Defer "PreferIPv6 by default" to 0.4.4

In #32637 (moved), we made clients default to "PreferIPv6" on SOCKSPorts (and other client ports).

But in #33796 (moved), we discovered that this change broke torsocks.

We want to defer this change to 0.4.4, so tor can implement IPv4-only and IPv6-only resolves for torsocks.

Since #32637 (moved), we have also merged:

  • #33608 (moved), which removes a forced PreferIPv6 for non-SOCKSPorts
  • #32994 (moved), which puts the PreferIPv6 default in port_parse_config(), rather than in 2 different places in the code

So it should be very easy to change the default for PreferIPv6.

To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have an admin enable hashed storage. More information
