This is actually not too bad an idea, so I implemented ipv6 to
sks-keyservers.net as well.

the pool is available at x-hkp://ipv6.pool.sks-keyservers.net and uses
the same data as for the original synchronization test, just checks if
the same servers have AAAA records.

in theory this could result in a situation where server responds to ipv4
requests and not ipv6 requests, but for now that seems like an unlikely
issue, which I'll rather counter with blacklist if it happens.

Status is currently BETA on ipv6, so please come with comments. IPv6
support will be added to keys.kfwebs.net and possibly keys2.kfwebs.net
over the next couple of weeks as well.
