  When reporting errors, we sometimes want to show
a relevant socket address.
 Doing so by extracting the various relevant fields can be pretty awkward,
 so introduce a sockaddr_ntop() helper to make it simpler.  For now we just
 have one user in tcp.c, but I have further upcoming patches which can make
 use of it.   
 
 Realised I had an off-by-one error in my calculation of the max buffer
 size for this.  Fixed version coming. 
While at it, I was also wondering: would it be reasonably feasible,
without killing readability, to get inet_ntop() to write directly to
the buffer? I haven't tried to do it though.
