[issue1675455] Use getaddrinfo() in urllib2.py for IPv6 support

[Facundo Batista]

Facundo Batista <facundo at taniquetil.com.ar> added the comment:

What I don't understand here is... if gethostbyname() lacks of IPv6
support, instead of creating a new function why not to add the
functionality to that same function?

Right now gethostbyname() is implemented in C, which would be the
drawback of making it a Python function?
