Description hysu 2023-11-27 13:42:52 PST 
Follow-up bug report to: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=259835 (Investigate the possibility of replacing twisted http server in run-benchmark with python3 http.server)

`--http-server-type builtin` only serves on IPV4 at the moment. While this should be the default, we should also be able to serve on IPV6 for harnesses that require it, and be able to automatically detect which one to use.

The simplest way to implement this would be to override `address_family = socket.AF_INET6` in SimpleHTTPRequestHandler, and to switch when an address contains colons instead of periods.
