7.9 Passive transfer tries only one IP address

 When doing FTP operations through a proxy at localhost, the reported spotted

 addresses and a failed connect on one address should make it try the next.

 After switching to passive mode (EPSV), curl should try all IP addresses for
 "localhost". Currently it tries ::1, but it should also try 127.0.0.1.
