Clarify --block-ipv6 intent and direction.

--block-ipv6 is a fairly special-purpose option, and only blocks packet
in the client->server direction.  This is implied by not ever mentioning
the other direction in the existing documentation, but not written down.

Make this explicit, avoid confusion.

Also, point why this option exist (avoid IPv6 leakage from dual-stacked
clients around IPv4-only VPN offerings).

Trac: #1351
