This is not a functional change, as the hints field is static and hence
automatically initialised to zero — which happens to be what AF_UNSPEC
and the unspecified protocol are defined as. However, it’s best to be
explicit about this, in case AF_UNSPEC is _not_ defined as zero.

In addition to the standard "192.168.1.1" format, there are numerous
legacy IPv4 address formats (such as "192.168.257",
"0xc0.0xa8.0x01.0x01", "0300.0250.0001.0001", "3232235777", and
"0xc0a80101"). However, none of these forms are ever used any more
except in phishing attempts. GLib wasn't supposed to be accepting
these addresses (neither g_hostname_is_ip_address() nor
g_inet_address_new_from_string() recognizes them), but getaddrinfo()
accepts them, and so the parts of gio that use getaddrinfo()
accidentally did accept those formats.
Fix GNetworkAddress and GResolver to reject these address formats.

As it turns out, we have examples of internal functions called
type_name_get_private() in the wild (especially among older libraries),
so we need to use a name for the per-instance private data getter
function that hopefully won't conflict with anything.
The flowinfo and scope_id fields of struct sockaddr_in6 are in host
byte order, but the code previously assumed they were in network byte
order. Fix that.
This is an ABI-breaking change (since before you would have had to use
g_ntohl() and g_htonl() with them to get the correct values, and now
that would give the wrong values), but the previous behavior was
clearly wrong, and no one ever reported it, so it is likely that no
one was actually using it.

struct sin6_addr has two additional fields that struct sin_addr
doesn't. Add support for those to GInetSocketAddress, and make sure
they don't get lost when converting between glib and native types.

This is nice for some callers so they can report an error.
It is also required to support opional address types like
abstract paths for unix domain sockets.
Types and methods for dealing with IPv4 and IPv6 addresses (and UNIX
domain socket addresses under UNIX). This does not include code for
actual socket I/O.
Originally from "gnio". Much of the code was written by Christian
Kellner, Samuel Cormier-Iijima, and Ryan Lortie.
Part of #548466.
