Dovecot refuses to install/run on machine without IPv6

Hi,

I just tried to install Dovecot (version 2.3.19.1 9b53102964) on a Debian 12 server I'm building. It failed because Dovecot's default listen address is explicitly "*, ::" and it appears to have no logic to determine if there actually is an IPv6-enabled interface or that IPv6 is enabled on the target machine before it tries to listen on it. If dovecot wants to listen on IPv6 by default, that's neither here nor there, but if this is default behaviour it should check first.

I'm curious if it's the same behaviour for machines without IPv4.
