udp: support for IPv6 addresses

Hello,

Do the udpsrc and udpsink elements support IPv6? When specifying localhost as the host for the udpsink element with the below /etc/hosts file, it seems like gstreamer is not able to handle the ::1 IPv6 address. Not sure if this is a 🐛 or if IPv6 is just not supported yet.

/etc/hosts

127.0.0.1   localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4
::1         localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6

Gstreamer logs
