gh-154291: Fix socket.has_dualstack_ipv6() on DragonFly BSD (GH-154292)
On DragonFly BSD setsockopt(IPPROTO_IPV6, IPV6_V6ONLY, 0) succeeds without actually clearing the flag, so has_dualstack_ipv6() wrongly returned True. Verify with getsockopt() that IPV6_V6ONLY was cleared. Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
