inany: Introduce union sockaddr_inany

There are a number of places where we want to handle either a
sockaddr_in or a sockaddr_in6.  In some of those we use a void *,
which works ok and matches some standard library interfaces, but
doesn't give a signature level hint that we're dealing with only
sockaddr_in or sockaddr_in6, not (say) sockaddr_un or another type of
socket address.  Other places we use a sockaddr_storage, which also
works, but has the same problem in addition to allocating more on the
stack than we need to.

Introduce union sockaddr_inany to explictly handle this case: it has
variants for sockaddr_in and sockaddr_in6.  Use it in a number of
places where it's easy to do so.
