Remove the paragraph about writing to the Free Software Foundation's
mailing address. The FSF has changed addresses in the past, and may do
so again. In 2021 this is not useful, let's rather have a bit less
boilerplate at the start of source files.

In case the port isn't known at the time osmo_sockaddr_str_from_str2()
parse only the ip and don't touch the port.
This is the case when a user has different vty commands for ip and port.

osmo_sockaddr_str_{from,to}_32n actually use host byte order. Deprecate these
and introduce a more accurately named version ending in h.

Of course both v4 and v6 addresses are kept in network byte order when
represented in bytes, but when writing, I somehow must have assumed that
inet_pton() returns host byte order. Fix that mixup in the API docs:
osmo_sockaddr_str_from_32() and osmo_sockaddr_str_to_32() actually use network
byte order.
osmo_sockaddr_str_from_32n() and osmo_sockaddr_str_to_32n() actually use host
byte order, though reflecting 'n' in their name.
sockaddr_str_test: use hexdump instead of %x to show the
osmo_sockaddr_str_to_32*() conversions so that the error becomes obvious.
(Printing %x reverses the bytes again and made it look correct.)

Currently planned user: for Distributed GSM in osmo-hlr: setting per-MSC
service addresses in VTY: replace/remove existing entries.
osmo_sockaddr_str_cmp() is useful to catch identical resulting IP addresses,
regardless of differing strings (e.g. '0::' and '::' are equal but differ in
strings).

Often, an IP address of 0.0.0.0 is considered an unset value (for clients
requiring a server address; not for listening on "any").
osmo_sockaddr_str_is_set() does return false when the port is 0, but there is
no simple way to tell whether the IP address is actually set to a server
address.
Add osmo_sockaddr_str_is_nonzero() to return false if:
- the port is zero, or
- the IP address is zero (0.0.0.0 or ::0), or
- the IP address cannot be parsed.
A practical use example: osmo-msc so far accepts an RTP IP address of 0.0.0.0
as valid. I noticed when trying to trigger error handling from a ttcn3 test.
osmo-msc can use this function to reject invalid addresses from MGCP messages.

For handling RTP IP addresses and ports, osmo-mgw, osmo-bsc and osmo-msc
so far have their own separate shims and code duplication around
inet_ntoa(), htons(), sockaddr conversions etc. Unify and standardize
with this common API.
In the MGW endpoint FSM that was introduced in osmo-bsc and which I
would like to re-use for osmo-msc (upcoming patch moving that to
osmo-mgw), it has turned out that using char* IP address and uint16_t
port number types are a convenient common denominator for logging,
MGCP message composition and GSM48. Ongoing osmo-msc work also uses this
for MNCC.
This is of course potentially useful for any other IP+port combinations
besides RTP stream handling.
Needless to say that most current implementations will probably stay
with their current own conversion code for a long time; for current
osmo-{bsc,msc,mgw} work (MGW endpoint FSM) though, I would like to move
to this API here.
