[PATCH v2] daemon.c: fix segfault on OS X

[Benjamin Kramer <benny.kra@googlemail.com>]

On OS X (and maybe other unices), getaddrinfo(3) returns NULL
in the ai_canonname field if it's called with an IP address for
the hostname. We'll now use the IP address for the hostname if
ai_canonname was NULL, this also matches the behaviour on Linux.

steps to reproduce:
$ git daemon --export-all
$ git clone git://127.0.0.1/frotz
=> git daemon's fork (silently) segfaults.

Remove the pointless loop while at it. There is only one iteration
because of the break; on the last line and there are no continues.

It doesn't segfault but it just assumes an empty hostname:

  $ git daemon --verbose --export-all --interpolated-path=%CH/%D
    [3251] Connection from 127.0.0.1:49423
    [3251] Extended attributes (16 bytes) exist <host=127.0.0.1>
    [3251] Request upload-pack for '/frotz'
    [3251] Interpolated dir '//frotz'

This upated patch uses a copy of ip_address. I did a quick test on my
Linux box and it looks like Linux' getaddrinfo(3) always returns the IP
address in ai_canonname instead of NULL when it is called with an IP
address hostname.

  $ git daemon --verbose --export-all --interpolated-path=%CH/%D
    [3871] Connection from 127.0.0.1:49427
    [3871] Extended attributes (16 bytes) exist <host=127.0.0.1>
    [3871] Request upload-pack for '/frotz'
    [3871] Interpolated dir '127.0.0.1//frotz'


Btw, if I connect to an IPv6 host with interpolated-path=%IP the IP
address gets converted to 0.0.0.0. Is this desired behaviour or yet
another bug?

(I hope thunderbird didn't f*ck up the formatting this time)
