Description

Following #1111 and #1184.
Installer now asks whether the server is IPv6 capable. Does not disable IPv6 if user choses no, just doesn't enable the IPv6 network for docker. IPv6 connections will still succeed, but will get NATed to the Docker internal IPv4 address.
If needed, this can be changed to actually disable IPv6, for example by changing the Gerbil ports from 443:443 to 0.0.0.0:443:443 conditionally.

How to test?

Test the install with both "yes" and "no".
"enable_ipv6 = true" should be included respectively not included in the docker-compose.yml
