This commit addresses an issue where the Tracer class in connvitals/traceroute.py would throw an exception if the host machine did not have an IPv6 stack available. The issue stemmed from the __init__ method attempting to create an IPv6 socket regardless of the system's capability. This commit resolves the problem by adding a check for socket.has_ipv6 before creating the socket. If an IPv6 stack is not available, an EnvironmentError is raised with a descriptive message, preventing the exception and providing clearer feedback to the user.

Description
This pull request addresses an issue where the traceroute functionality would fail on systems without an available IPv6 stack.
Specifically, the
Tracerclass inconnvitals/traceroute.pynow gracefully handles the absence of an IPv6 stack by checking for its availability before attempting to create IPv6 sockets. If the stack is not available, anEnvironmentErroris raised, preventing crashes and providing a more informative error message.Changes
socket.has_ipv6in theTracer.__init__method before creating IPv6 sockets.EnvironmentErroris raised with a message indicating that the IPv6 stack is not available on the system.Fixes Issue 9
