linux: ignore setsockopt(IPV6_RECVERR)

Description

linux: ignore setsockopt(IPV6_RECVERR)

Under Linux, the socket options IP_RECVERR and IPV6_RECVERR are used to
receive socket errors via a dedicated 'error queue' which can be
retrieved via recvmsg(). FreeBSD does not support this functionality.

For IPv4, the sysctl compat.linux.ignore_ip_recverr can be set to 1 to
silently ignore attempts to set IP_RECVERR and return success to the
application, which is wrong, but is required for (among other things)
a functional DNS client in recent versions of glibc.

Add support for ignoring IPV6_RECVERR, controlled by the same sysctl.
This fixes DNS in Linux when using IPv6 resolvers.
