[PATCH net-next v2 8/8] selftests: mptcp: use IPPROTO_MPTCP for getaddrinfo

[Matthieu Baerts (NGI0)]

From: zhenwei pi <pizhenwei@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

mptcp_connect.c is a startup tutorial of MPTCP programming, however
there is a lack of ai_protocol(IPPROTO_MPTCP) usage. Add comment for
getaddrinfo MPTCP support.

This patch first uses IPPROTO_MPTCP to get addrinfo, and if glibc
version is too old, it falls back to using IPPROTO_TCP.

Notes:
- a previous version has already been sent to Netdev. ChangeLog:
  - show how to use IPPROTO_MPTCP with getaddrinfo, not only a comment.
  - Link to this version:
