[geary/wip/ubuntu-1804-network-unreachable: 1/2] Retry using IPv4 only when connecting to an endpoint fails

    Retry using IPv4 only when connecting to an endpoint fails
    
    Ubuntu 18.04 for some reason started throwing "Network unavailable"
    errors when an AAAA record was resolved for host name but no valid IPv6
    network was available. Work around by re-attempting once using IPv4
    only.
    
    See issue #217.
