patch to apache for IPv6 only httpd

FYI-
This very simple patch prevents an assert when httpd is run on a
server that has no IPv4 address. An example is a BSD jail running
with only an IPv6 address on the interface (no loopback so no
127.0.0.1 address to bind to).
Copy the patch below into the files directory as
/usr/ports/www/apache22/files/patch-server__config.c
The port maintainer is on the Cc. No bug has been reported.
BTW- I noticed this a long time ago. I don't remember if I reported
it or forgot to. Appologies if this is a duplicate. It is not in the
httpd-2.2.22.tar.bz2 tarball, in the distinfo dated 23 July 2012.
