Summary: check_fping: IPv6 support

Initial Comment:
Add IPv6 support to check_fping

This patch adds command line options -4 and -6 (--use-ipv4 and --use-ipv6) to check_fping. IPv4 is used by default, maintaining backwards compatibilty with older check_fping versions.  IPv6 support requires the fping6 program.

The implementation is really an imitation of check_ping IPv6 support: Plugin command line option -4/-6 designates whether to run fping/fping6. 

Please note that especially the changes to configure.in might be all wrong - I don't know what's the proper autoconf way, patching configure.in just seemed to work for me.
