[pfx] Feature request: let us configure /proc/net/if_inet6 path from config (or use alternative altogether)

I am experimenting with postfix on an Android phone and however it works on
ipv4 but for ipv6 it fails and the reason is that under a restricted
environment, access to the aforementioned file is not available.
Apparently, mobile networks have better support for ipv6 than ipv4.
