Unfortunately that is necessary but not sufficient for the link to
actually succeed. Also a host might have two IPv4 (or IPv6) addresses,
only one of which works, so this problem is not v6-vs.-v4 specific.

Ideally some background process forked by `wg` or `wg-quick` should set
the first address, monitor the peer, and use the next one if it hasn't
been established after some configurable number of seconds (or when the
keepalive fails). Bonus points for re-resolving the address when it expires.
