When bootstrapping at ETH on freshly installed hosts that have some sort of IPv6 connectivity, the bootstrapper uses an IPv6 hint, which fails with a context deadline exceeded error. While there is a check whether an IPv6 address is routable, this check (erroneously?) does allow the bootstrapper to use IPv6 hints that are in fact not reachable. This PR circumvents the problem by using the next available hint, if this hint is different than previous hints. In the ETH case, falling back to an IPv4 hint, which does succeed.
