Commit message:

Simplify UPD and IPv4/IPv6 selections

Idea is that MESH has to have hard-coded IPv6 server address, because
it does not have DNS capability. Other networks should have.

Also, UDP must be used with MESH - other networks we want to default to
TCP because it is typically more reliable (UDP gets closed due to firewalls).

Thirdly, IPv4/IPv6 selection should now happen automatically through
the mbed_app.json selections with no need to modify the .h-file anymore
by modifying the
"lwip.ipv4-enabled": false,
"lwip.ipv6-enabled": true
selections accordingly.

.
