Revision v4 of 3 in this series.

Revisions (3)
  1. v2 [diff vs current]
  2. v3 [diff vs current]
  3. v4 current
The original intent was to make sure strings written by those functions
are NUL-terminated at all times, though it was suggested to get rid of
the 15 char protocol name limit as well which this patch accomplishes.

In addition to that, simplify inet_proto_a2n() a bit: Use the error
checking in get_u8() to find out whether passed 'buf' contains a valid
decimal number instead of checking the first character's value manually.
