[3.14] gh-154291: Fix socket.has_dualstack_ipv6() on DragonFly BSD (GH-154292) (GH-154300)

On DragonFly BSD setsockopt(IPPROTO_IPV6, IPV6_V6ONLY, 0) succeeds without
actually clearing the flag, so has_dualstack_ipv6() wrongly returned True.
Verify with getsockopt() that IPV6_V6ONLY was cleared.
(cherry picked from commit c7bbf04)
