We are using the same port for IPv4 and IPv6 since ChainSafe/lodestar#8190 but binding to the same port in dual-stack mode doesn't actually work and discv5 just gets stuck trying to open sockets.
this promise never resolves
discv5/packages/discv5/src/transport/udp.ts
Line 84 in 293ff65
and results in timeout of network worker on startup
Setting
ipv6Onlyto true restricts IPv6 sockets to only handle IPv6 traffic, allowing separate IPv4 and IPv6 sockets to bind to the same port number without conflict.
