I often switch between networks that use either IPv4 or IPv6.
As the network module supports IPv4 or IPv6 (but not both at the same time) I currently need to add two instances of the network module to my config and explicitly set the family to "ipv6" for one of them.
This PR makes the network module able to handle both IPv4 and IPv6 simultaneously. It is enough to have a single instance of the network module that handle both protocols and the family doesn't have to be specified. This is a bit simpler and probably what most users would expect.
