If we can't help including <ws2tcpip.h>/<netinet/ip.h> from public headers,
might as well use `struct in_addr`, just replace `#include <netinet/ip.h>`
with `#include <rte_ip.h>` everywhere.

The only remaining issue will be `s_addr` macro on Windows that conflicts with
`struct rte_ether_addr` field `s_addr`. I don't know a better solution than
renaming `s_addr` to `src_addr` in DPDK (OTOH, it will be consistent with
`struct rte_ipvX_hdr` field naming).

Ferruh, what do you think?
  

No problem on the chosen name, that will work fine, but the 'struct 
rte_eth_addr' is public struct, we can't rename it without breaking the user 
applications.

Still it is possible to rename public struct, but it is a long process, need to 
send a deprecation notice and wait for next LTS, 21.11.

Ethernet header already has following, doesn't it help:
#undef s_addr /* Defined in winsock2.h included in windows.h. */

It helps until you do the following:

	#include <winsock2.h>	/* #define s_addr S_un.S_addr */
	#include <rte_ether.h>	/* #undef s_addr */

	struct in_addr a;
	a.s_addr = 0; /* ERROR, `s_addr` has been defined to do that */

Or the following:

	#include <rte_ether.h>
	#include <winsock2.h>

	struct rte_ether_hdr eh;
	eh.s_addr.addr_bytes[0] = 0;	/* ERROR: `addr_s` is a macro */

If you swap include order in each case, it compiles, i.e . code is fragile.
Shims redefine `struct in_addr` and we're trying to get rid of them anyway.


Here's a solution that always works, however ugly it looks. It defines
`struct rte_ether_hdr` for Windows such that `s_addr` macro works for it if
defined. We can keep it until 21.11, then remove it and rename fields. In
return, we can remove networking shims and workarounds immediately.

`S_un.S_addr` part of `struct in_addr` is documented, and thus is unlikely to
ever change:
