[Bug libc/6472] New: getaddrinfo() for localhost doesn't respect gai configuration

["petr dot pisar at atlas dot cz" <sourceware-bugzilla at sourceware dot org>]

Resolving "localhost" using getaddrinfo(3) without any address family preference
returns always "127.0.0.1" before "::1" despite /etc/gai.conf configuration on
glibc-2.6.1.

::1/128 has highest preference in my configuration (and in the default one
according RFC 3484 too), thus I expect reverse list (::1, 127.0.0.1).
