Let getaddrinfo() and related functions supports traditional IPv4 format

 (shortend format, etc)

   Current KAME getaddrinfo() supports only d.d.d.d format IPv4
   addr. But traditionally inet_aton() and etc support other formats.
   (shortend format and octal/deciaml/hex format)
   Aboud this,
    -As far as the discussion on freebsd-current, many people
     think traditional format should also be supported by getaddrinfo().
    -X/Open spec requires getaddrinfo() also support those
     traditional IPv4 format.
    -RFC2553 say nothing about it.
    -As the result of confirmation in ietf/ipng list, there is
     no clear concensus yet, and the reply was, "RFC2553 update
     and X/Open spec will be in sync"

   So takeing these conditions into account, I think
   getaddrinfo() should also support traditional IPv4 format.
