Subject: QHostAddress: Convert AnyIPv4 to AnyIPv6 instead of ::ffff:0.0.0.0

Unlike localhost (127.0.0.1), there's really no point in using
::ffff:0.0.0.0, since you shouldn't be sending packets to it. Linux
transforms 0.0.0.0 to localhost, but that's non-standard and won't work
on other OSs, so it's still a bad idea.
