net/fping: Update to 4.2

[kai]

Summary

While I'm here:

• Move options block further down according to the PHB

Changelog:

• New option -x / --reachable to check if the number of reachable hosts is >= a certain number. Useful for example to implement connectivity-checks
• Allow decimal numbers for '-t', '-i', '-p', and '-Q'
• Fix build with --disable-ipv6
• Fix hang with '-6', with ipv6 kernel module, but not loaded
• Assume '-6' if the binary is named 'fping6' (this is mostly for special embedded-distro use cases, and not meant to be used generally in place of compiling IPv6-only binary or using '-6')
• Get rid of warning "timeout (-t) value larger than period (-p) produces unexpected results"

^ is fping6 still installed if the option is off?

Thank you for the pointer. fping6 is always created by the post-install target regardless of the selected option. Nevertheless I did verify each package just to be sure. ;-)

I can confirm that ${PREFIX}/bin/fping6 is always installed even if the IPV6 option is disabled.

So what is the point of the option? -- why not drop it and simply say it's 2019, deal with it

The IPV6 option has been added due PR 229903 and was then added in rP477297 to solve the issue.
