Add toggle for IPv4/IPv6 in extension settings

My PC does not have an IPv6 address assigned, so when I toggle the status popup, it says "Fetching IPv6.." forever. Perhaps it would be beneficial to add a toggle in settings for IPv6/IPv4 so that the extension does not repeatedly fetch an IP it cannot fetch?

Support GNOME 46

Just a simple version bump in the metadata is needed to add support for GNOME 46.
