[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 2/5] sockets: don't block IPv4 clients when listening on "::"

[Daniel P. Berrange]

When inet_parse() parses the hostname, it is forcing the
has_ipv6 && ipv6 flags if the address contains a ":". This
means that if the user had set the ipv4=on flag, to try to
restrict the listener to just ipv4, an error would not have
been raised.  eg

   -incoming tcp:[::]:9000,ipv4

should have raised an error because listening for IPv4
on "::" is a non-sensical combination. With this removed,
we now call getaddrinfo() on "::" passing PF_INET and
so getaddrinfo reports an error about the hostname being
incompatible with the requested protocol.

Likewise it is explicitly setting the has_ipv4 & ipv4
flags when the address contains only digits + '.'. This
has no ill-effect, but also has no benefit, so is removed.
