New subject: [PATCH 1/8] tcp: Fix address type for tcp_sock_init_af()

This takes a struct in_addr * (i.e. an IPv4 address), although it's explicitly supposed to handle IPv6 as well. Both its caller and sock_l4() which it calls use a void * for the address, which can be either an in_addr or an in6_addr. We get away with this, because we don't do anything with the pointer other than transfer it from the caller to sock_l4(), but it's misleading. And quite possibly technically UB, because C is like that.

So, we may be able to use union inany_addr in some places, but that's not the same thing as this: inany_addr carries IPv4 addresses as mapped IPv6 addresses, it's not switched on a separate af parameter.

New subject: [PATCH 5/8] util: Improve sockaddr initialisation in sock_l4()

Currently we initialise the address field of the sockaddrs we construct to the any/unspecified address, but not in a very clear way: we use explicit 0 values, which is only interpretable if you know the order of fields in the sockaddr structures. Use explicit field names, and explicit initialiser macros for the address. Because we initialise to this default value, we don't need to explicitly set the any/unspecified address later on if the caller didn't pass an overriding bind address.

New subject: [PATCH 6/8] icmp: Avoid unnecessary handling of unspecified bind address

We go to some trouble, if the configured output address is unspecified, to pass NULL to sock_l4(). But while passing NULL is one way to get sock_l4() not to specify a bind address, passing the "any" address explicitly works too. Use this to simplify icmp_tap_handler().

New subject: [PATCH 7/8] treewide: Avoid in_addr_t

IPv4 addresses can be stored in an in_addr_t or a struct in_addr. The former is just a type alias to a 32-bit integer, so doesn't really give us any type checking. Therefore we generally prefer the structure, since we mostly want to treat IP address as opaque objects. Fix a few places where we still use in_addr_t, but can just as easily use struct in_addr. Note there are still some uses of in_addr_t in conf.c, but those are justified: since they're doing prefix calculations, they actually need to look at the internals of the address as an integer.

New subject: [PATCH 8/8] util: Make sock_l4() treat empty string ifname like NULL

sock_l4() takes NULL for ifname if you don't want to bind the socket to a particular interface. However, for a number of the callers, it's more natural to use an empty string for that case. Change sock_l4() to accept either NULL or an empty string equivalently, and simplify some callers using that change.
