Merge bitcoin/bitcoin#22079: zmq: Add support to listen on IPv6 addresses
e6998838e5548991274ad2bf1697d862905b8837 doc: Add IPv6 address to zmq example (nthumann) 8abe5703a9bb76bc92204a6f69775790e96208fa test: Add IPv6 test to zmq (nthumann) ded449b726e47f35798ef1c4b1e59123a0dc2b61 zmq: Enable IPv6 on listening socket (nthumann) Pull request description: This PR adds support for listening on IPv6 addresses with bitcoinds ZMQ interface, just like the RPC server. Currently, it is not possible to specify an IPv6 address, as the `ZMQ_IPV6` [socket option](http://api.zeromq.org/master:zmq-setsockopt#toc27) is not set and therefore the ZMQ initialization fails, if one does so. The absence of this option has also been noted [here](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/15198#issuecomment-617378512). With this PR one can e.g. set `-zmqpubhashblock=tcp://[::1]:28333` to listen on the IPv6 loopback address.
