Summary: check_ping ignores -4 option

Initial Comment:
check_ping v1991 (nagios-plugins 1.4.13)
Solaris 10u5 sparc

check_ping ignores -4 option when the host passed with -H is a hostname which has both A and AAAA records associated with it. Expected behavior is that -4 forces check_ping to use an IPv4 address returned from an A record lookup of the host if a hostname is provided. This is the behavior seen with other plugins such as check_ssh, which correctly query over only IPv4 or IPv6 with -4 or -6 are passed, respectively.
