#502: in spiffy, make tcp-addresses configurable

 Priority:  minor        |   Milestone:  4.7.0

-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
 spiffy has only one dependency on the core tcp unit -- {{{tcp-
 addresses}}}.  Both the listen procedure and the accept procedure can be
 passed to {{{start-server}}} via keywords, but the procedure used to
 resolve the local and remote addresses from an input port cannot.  By
 making {{{tcp-addresses}}} configurable in this manner, dirty and
 unscalable hack though it be, spiffy can be used with the tcp6 egg like
 so:
 {{{
 (use tcp6)
 (start-server accept: tcp-accept listen: tcp-listen addresses: tcp-
 addresses)
 }}}
 Attached is one possible implementation.  Interestingly, you could now
 remove the ssl-specific addresses code (essentially: {{{(tcp-addresses
 (ssl-port->tcp-port p))}}}) from spiffy and move it into, e.g. {{{ssl-
 addresses}}} in the openssl egg, but this is not really practical.
