66d5292ee6 Revert "config: Make clients tell dual-stack exits they prefer IPv6"
This reverts commit bf2a399fc0.

Don't set by default the prefer IPv6 feature on client ports because it breaks
the torsocks use case. The SOCKS resolve command is lacking a mechanism to ask
for a specific address family (v4 or v6) thus prioritizing IPv6 when an IPv4
address is asked on the resolve SOCKS interface resulting in a failure.

Tor Browser explicitly set PreferIPv6 so this should not affect the majority
of our users.

Closes #33796

doc: specify C99 coding standards
Make clear that Tor's C code targets C99 standards. This makes it more
explicit what to expect for new code, because guessing from existing
code is not always reliable, especially for code that predates the
change in standard.

client: Revert setting PreferIPv6 on by default
This change broke torsocks that by default is expecting an IPv4 for hostname
resolution because it can't ask tor for a specific IP version with the SOCKS5
extension.

PreferIPv6 made it that sometimes the IPv6 could be returned to torsocks that
was expecting an IPv4.

Torsocks is probably a very unique case because the runtime flow is that it
hijacks DNS resolution (ex: getaddrinfo()), gets an IP and then sends it back
for the connect() to happen.

The libc has DNS resolution functions that allows the caller to request a
specific INET family but torsocks can't tell tor to resolve the hostname only
to an IPv4 or IPv6 and thus by default fallsback to IPv4.

Reverting this change into 0.4.3.x series but we'll keep it in the 0.4.4.x
series in the hope that we add this SOCKS5 extension to tor for DNS resolution
and then change torsocks to use that.

Fixes #33804
