Apparently there are systems where you can bind to ::1, but you can't bind
to 127.0.0.1. On these systems, evutil_ersatz_socketpair doesn't work
right -- it only falls back to IPv6 when it fails to create an AF_INET
socket.
I'm calling this a very low priority bug, since evutil_ersatz_socketpair
is only used on Windows, and (as far as I know) binding 127.0.0.1 should
always work on Windows.
