DO we really need new commands for this ? It seems to me that we
can reliably distinction IPv4 vs v6 from the address format, and
thus existing commands can be adapted to support both.

This is the way other command line options and monitor commands
work for IPv4 vs IPv6 elsewhere in QEMU, so I think consistency
is beneficial.  We already have the helper method inet_parse()
that can do this parsing.

Regards,
Daniel
