... in preparation for adding ipv6 host forwarding support.

Tested:
avocado run tests/acceptance/hostfwd.py

Signed-off-by: Doug Evans <dje@google.com>
---

Changes from v5:

Use InetSocketAddress and getaddrinfo().
Use new libslirp calls: slirp_remove_hostxfwd, slirp_add_hostxfwd.

One improvement I think I'd like to make here is that I'm not sure how
portable the text of the result of, e.g., gai_strerror() is,
and relax the expected text of the error messages in the potentially
host-specific part.
But I'll wait until everything else is reviewed.

This fails to build with the system version of libslirp, as there has not
been releases with this new symbol yet. I am not sure what's the status for
upstream release, we should create an issue there and discuss it.

Anyway, you'll probably need to make the new code conditional with
SLIRP_CHECK_VERSION(), as we don't want qemu to depend on too recent
releases.

thanks
