Remove all use of inet_pton and inet_ntop
The inet_pton and inet_ntop functions are obsolete, replaced by getaddrinfo+getnameinfo with the AI_NUMERICHOST flag set. These can be accessed via the virSocket APIs. The bridge.c code had methods for fetching the IP address of a bridge which used inet_ntop. Aside from the use of inet_ntop these methods are broken, because a NIC can have multiple addresses and this only returns one address. Since the methods are never used, just remove them. * src/conf/network_conf.c, src/nwfilter/nwfilter_learnipaddr.c: Replace inet_pton and inet_ntop with virSocket APIs * src/util/bridge.c, src/util/bridge.h: Remove unused methods which called inet_ntop.

LibVirt : simple API for virtualization Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.

Description
Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the
virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware
vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER
Hypervisor.
