[PATCH/RFC] daemon.c: replace inet_ntop with getnameinfo

From: Benjamin Kramer <hidden>

Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

git daemon's interpolated paths didn't support IPv6.
Every IPv6 address was being converted to `0.0.0.0'.

Fix this by replacing inet_ntop(3) with the protocol
agnostic getnameinfo(3) API.

With this patch we'll have colons in the per-IP directories
for IPv6 addresses. Creating files with a : in the name fails
on some OSes (e.g. Windows).

Is this OK for git or do we need to special case IPv6 addresses?
