Re: [libvirt] [PATCH 2/2] util: introduce virSocketAddrParseAny

When preparing for migration, the libxl driver creates a new TCP listen socket for the incoming migration by calling virNetSocketNewListenTCP, passing the destination host name. virNetSocketNewListenTCP calls virSocketAddrParse to check if the host name is a wildcard address, in which case it avoids adding the AI_ADDRCONFIG flag to the hints passed to getaddrinfo. If the host name is not an IP address, virSocketAddrParse reports an error error : virSocketAddrParseInternal:121 : Cannot parse socket address 'myhost.example.com': Name or service not known But virNetSocketNewListenTCP succeeds regardless and the overall migration operation succeeds. Introduce virSocketAddrParseAny and use it when simply testing if a host name/addr is parsable.
