listing IPv6 support on mirror pages

[Bas Zoetekouw <bas@debian.org>]

Hi!

There is a request in the bts [1] to show which mirrors are reachable
over IPv6.  I've already added a new field "IPv6" to the mirror
masterlist [2], but Simon Paillard suggested on irc that that might not
be the best solution, because there could, in principle, also be
ipv6-only mirrors, and because people might be relying on the existing
format of the mirrorlist.

Does anyone have a suggestion on how to best solve this?  Is it ok to
add extra field to the master mirrorlist and the mirror lists on the
website?

Regards,
Bas.
