It looks very useful to receive additional information
from get_addr_1() and get_addr() about address to simplify
caller and get rid of code duplications.
For now following information can be returned:
1) address is unspecified (zero)
2) address is multicast
3) address is internet: family is either AF_INET or
AF_INET6.
More information can be added in the future.
Introduce inline helpers to make code using this new
address classification interface more self explaining:
bool is_addrtype_inet(inet_prefix *addr)
true if @addr is inet address
bool is_addrtype_inet_unspec(inet_prefix *addr)
true if @addr is unspecified inet address
bool is_addrtype_inet_multi(inet_prefix *addr)
true if @addr is multicast inet address
bool is_addrtype_inet_not_unspec(inet_prefix *addr)
true if @addr is not unspecified inet address
false if @addr is not inet or unspecified inet
bool is_addrtype_inet_not_multi(inet_prefix *addr)
true if @addr is not multicast inet address
false if @addr is not inet or multicast inet
Last two are useful for case when we need inet address
that is not unspecified or multicast.
