I've been setting up wireguard-go on an old Linux kernel (no module),
and hit a bug with ipv6-less kernels. The create6() function returns 0
as the port number when an error occurs, so even though CreateBind
checks for EAFNOSUPPORT, it still ends up with port getting set to zero,
resulting in a random port.

I solved it by returning port instead of zero - as far as I can see
this shouldn't break anything, as CreateBind will return 0 anyway on
errors other than EAFNOSUPPORT.

I did not check whether the same bug exists in conn_default.go
