The issue was occurring while checking whether the provider name contained
"ipv6" as an indication for whether to use IPv4 or IPv4. The check
confused a definition like "[email protected]" to use IPv6 due to having
"ipv6" in the name.

To address the issue we changed the check to whether the prefix of
the provider name is "ipv6".

While doing so, we factored out this check into a own function taking
a ddns_info_t * struct as an argument.

Tested the changes in my setup with the workaround removed successfully.

Got confused by the log message while running in a locally built docker:

inadyn-1 | inadyn[1]: Updating IPv6 cache for [email protected] which I fixed with 4ea7896

The original check, checked whether the alias name contained the
substring "v6". This lead to confusing logging messages for providers
having "v6" in their name. For example in definitions
like "[email protected]" or "[email protected]".

@troglobit, if you want the second commit in a separate issue with a separate PR let me know. Both topics were related, so I thought it made sense to squash those issues with one PR.

I'm currently using this branch to build a docker image which i then use in a docker-compose setup, and i can use ipv64.net and the dynv6.com providers without issues so far.
