Ok, I figured out how to disable enough IPv6 on the development machine in order to trick xrootd to being an "ipv4-only" host.  I was able to reproduce and confirm the fix works.

Basically, Xrootd tries to find a server that can perform the transfer and have some amount of protocol-awareness.  By default, it searches for a host that can handle an IPv6 transfer.  I changed the default to query for hosts that can do transfers over either IPv4 _or_ IPv6.

Now, this assumes that the remote side is compatible with your cluster (i.e., an IPv6-only source will be matched to an IPv4-only cluster ... but a failure obviously still will occur further downstream).  It seems the assumption the two side are compatible is better than assuming the remote side is always IPv6-only.

@simonmichal - this fix would be very good to backport.
