Martin Kosek 4879c68d68 Improve address family handling in sockets
Many functions use low-level socket interface for connection or
various checks. However, most of the time we don't respect
automatic address family detection but rather try to force our
values. This may cause either redundat connection tries when an
address family is disabled on system tries or even crashes
when socket exceptions are not properly caught.

Instead of forcing address families to socket, rather use
getaddrinfo interface to automatically retrieve a list of all
relevant address families and other connection settings when
connecting to remote/local machine or binding to a local port.
Now, we will also fill correctly all connection parameters like
flowinfo and scopeid for IPv6 connections which will for example
prevent issues with scoped IPv6 addresses.

bind_port_responder function was changed to at first try to bind
to IPv6 wildcard address before IPv4 as IPv6 socket is able to
accept both IPv4 and IPv6 connections (unlike IPv4 socket).

nsslib connection was refactored to use nss.io.AddrInfo class to
get all the available connections. Socket is now not created by
default in NSSConnection class initializer, but rather when the
actual connection is being made, becase we do not an address family
where connection is successful.

Code to be installed on any client that wants to be in an IPA domain.

Mostly consists of a tool for Linux systems that will help configure the
client so it will work properly in a kerberized environment.

It also includes several ways to configure Firefox to do single sign-on.

The two methods on the client side are:

1. globalsetup.sh. This modifies the global Firefox installation so that
   any profiles created will be pre-configured.

2. usersetup.sh. This will update a user's existing profile.

The downside of #1 is that an rpm -V will return a failure. It will also
need to be run with every update of Firefox.

One a profile contains the proper preferences it will be unaffected by
upgrades to Firefox. 

The downside of #2 is that every user would need to run this each time they
create a new profile.

There is a third, server-side method. See ipa-server/README for details.
