[PATCH v2 0/3] daemon: fix network address handling bugs

["Sebastien Tardif via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>]

Fix three related issues in daemon.c's network address handling:

IPv6 address corruption in lookup_hostname(): getaddrinfo() is called with
AF_UNSPEC hints, so it may return IPv6 results. However, the code
unconditionally casts ai_addr to sockaddr_in and passes AF_INET to
inet_ntop(). On IPv6-only hosts, this reads from the wrong struct offset,
producing garbage IP addresses. Fixed by checking ai_family and handling
both AF_INET and AF_INET6.

IPv6 address truncation in ip2str(): The sockaddr struct size (ai_addrlen)
is passed as the output buffer size to inet_ntop(). For IPv6,
sizeof(sockaddr_in6) is 28 bytes but INET6_ADDRSTRLEN is 46, so long IPv6
addresses are silently truncated. Fixed by passing sizeof(ip) instead, and
dropping the now-unused len parameter.

NULL pointer in execute() logging: REMOTE_PORT environment variable is used
in a format string without a NULL check (only REMOTE_ADDR was checked). If
REMOTE_PORT is unset, NULL is passed to printf's %s, which is undefined
behavior. Fixed by using a fallback string.

Changes since v1:

 * Split the single patch into three separate commits, one per fix, per
   Patrick's review.
 * Deduplicated the address family handling in lookup_hostname(): instead of
   duplicating the inet_ntop() call for each family, the address pointer is
   extracted into a local void *addr variable first, then inet_ntop() is
   called once, per Patrick's suggestion.
 * The (void *) intermediate cast on ai_addr is used intentionally: C
   guarantees any object pointer round-trips safely through void *, and it
   keeps the per-family blocks shorter than spelling out the full struct
   casts.
 * For the REMOTE_PORT NULL guard: both REMOTE_ADDR and REMOTE_PORT are set
   by the same code path in handle(), so neither should be NULL
   independently. The guard makes the code consistent with the existing
   REMOTE_ADDR check and avoids undefined behavior from printf %s with a
   NULL argument.
 * Die on unexpected address families in lookup_hostname() rather than
   silently leaving addrbuf uninitialized.
