Dear Maintainer,
When attempting to start a QEMU VM on a host with only IPv6 addresses
available, qemu-system-x86_64 fails to start:
Aug 31 17:48:33 saratoga libvirtd[3181]: internal error: qemu unexpectedly
closed the monitor: 2022-08-31T21:48:33.756030Z qemu-system-x86_64: warning:
Spice: ../server/reds.cpp:2512:reds_init_socket: getaddrinfo(127.0.0.1,5900):

This seems a bit odd since 127.0.0.1 is still defined on the machine:

To work around this problem, defining:
spice_listen = "::1"
in /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf allows the VM to start.
