* server.py (server_metaclass): New.
  (IPv6_UDPServer, IPv6_TCPServer): Use "server_metaclass" instead of
  "server_bind" and "init_with_options".  Removed "address_family" and
  "allow_reuse_address", since they are now added in "server_metaclass".
  (server_bind, init_with_options): Removed.
  
  (main): Pass "options" to Client constructor.
  (Client.__init__): Take an "options" parameter and use it.
