Cherrypick of #3765

Problem: the readiness probe endpoint is not available on IPv6. This is a problem on IPv6 only clusters when using IPv6 for the pod network. The gateway pod refuses to come up because the readyz condition never fulfills.
Example:

Warning Unhealthy 88s (x160 over 26m) kubelet Readiness probe failed: Get "http://[fdd3:7046:2ad5:430a:39bb:bc6d:e254:a621]:8081/readyz": dial tcp [fdd3:7046:2ad5:430a:39bb:bc6d:e254:a621]:8081: connect: connection refused 

Solution: host the readyz endpoint on IPv6 as well.
