Subject: mpd.py: loop over addresses returned by getaddrinfo to connect to
X-Git-Tag: v0.2.0~8

mpd.py: loop over addresses returned by getaddrinfo to connect to

This allows us to support IPv6 and multi-homed hostnames.  getaddrinfo is
called with the same flags as libmpdclient uses, making address resolution
consistent between the two.
