RFC sockaddr usage removal

(I removed the explicit CC list because it was huge...)

Hi,

This is strictly an RFC -- it's not a complete removal of sockaddr at all, but it explores what's involved. Some things are easy (e.g. the first 3 patches), and some is very involved (last patch).

For the most part, the proto_ops::getname() switching from sockaddr to sockaddr_storage is mostly mechanical (and mostly just removes sockaddr casts). There are, however, cases where we still end up lying to the compiler about object sizes (in the case where the backing object is smaller than sockaddr_storage, but large enough to hold the protocol-specific address). These remain just as safe as they used to be. :)

I think for getname() (and similar interfaces) we *do* want to use sockaddr_storage, but there is kind of an argument to instead use a struct with a flexible array, e.g.:

struct sockaddr_unspec {
        sa_family_t	sa_family;
	char		sa_data[];
};

If this was done, then all these APIs would switch their casts from "(struct sockaddr *)" to "(struct sockaddr_unspec *)", even though in most cases the object is actully a struct sockaddr_storage.

What do folks think?
