Prevent crash on invalid server-ipv6 argument

`get_addr_generic()` expects `openvpn_getaddrinfo()` to return a newly
allocated struct, but getaddrinfo(3) failure leaves `*ai = NULL` as-is.

On OpenBSD, unlike free(3), freegetaddrinfo(3) requires a valid struct,
thus callers must check the argument to avoid NULL-deref or double-free:

```
$ openvpn --server-ipv6 ''
2025-12-06 11:59:18 RESOLVE: Cannot resolve host address: :[AF_INET6] (no address associated with name)
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
```

Guard against empty `ai`, i.e. failure, like similar code already does:

```
$ ./openvpn --server-ipv6 ''
2025-12-06 12:05:11 RESOLVE: Cannot resolve host address: :[AF_INET6] (no address associated with name)
Options error: error parsing --server-ipv6 parameter
Use --help for more information.
```

Spotted through a configuration typo "server-ipv6 fd00:/64" with 2.6.17,
reproduced with and tested against 2.7rc3 on OpenBSD/amd64 7.8-current.

NB: Standards are unclear wrt. freeaddrinfo(3)'s NULL handling;
    Linux, FreeBSD and illumos do check it and thus not crash.
