brlapi: Make connections to localhost timeout after 0.1s

We have seen system configurations where connecting to IPv6 ::1 would just
hang instead of reporting ECONNREFUSED when brltty is not running, probably
due to various misconfigured firewalls and whatnot. That is a broken system
configuration, but better avoid the issue from brlapi by just expecting the
connection to be fast on localhost.

git-localhost-timeout2 commit b3c93ca73cf82558c9a0735c8b525af58861aee7

Compare the IPv6 address field when applying the localhost timeout

The existing guard compares the sockaddr_in6 header to an in6_addr, so it
does not recognize ::1 and never sets the short timeout for IPv6 loopback.
Compare sin6_addr instead, preserving the IPv4 test and the existing timeout.
