dnscommon.r2py cannot parse replies containing MX type of queries and it doesn't support 'AAAA' records #168
Description
- for MX queries - dnscommon.r2py doesn't create dictionary from packet received from DNS. It gives an IndexError because of https://github.com/SeattleTestbed/seattlelib_v2/blob/master/dnscommon.r2py#L609 function _parse_address as it is limit to IPv4 address only. So, using wireshark and using same technique for the PTR, NS query it can be resolved.

- for 'AAAA' records - dnscommon doesn't support 'AAAA' i.e. IPv6 records yet. Hence a new function like
https://github.com/SeattleTestbed/seattlelib_v2/blob/master/dnscommon.r2py#L569 should be created for IPv6
Few MX queries has 'AAAA' records in Additional section for eg. dig gmail.com mx. So, for implementing complete MX records we need 'AAAA' support too.
