These 3 functions are easier to understand, and more efficient, when
the IPv4 address is viewed as a uint32 rather than an array of bytes.
virsocketAddrGetIPv4Addr() has bothered me for a long time - it was
virSocket
doing ntohl of the address into a temporary uint32, and then a loop
one-by-one swapping the order of all the bytes back to network
order. Of course this only works as described on little-endian
architectures - on big-endian architectures the first assignment won't
swap the bytes' ordering, but the loop assumes the bytes are now in
little-endian order and "swaps them back", so the result will be
incorrect. (Do we not support any big-endian targets that would have
exposed this bug long before now??)
virSocketAddrCheckNetmask() was checking each byte of the two
addresses individually, when it could instead just do the operation
once on the full 32 bit values.
virSocketGetRange() was checking for "range > 65535" by seeing if the
first 2 bytes of the start and end were different, and then doing
arithmetic combining the lower two bytes (along with necessary bit
shifting to account for network byte order) to determine the exact
size of the range. Instead we can just get the ntohl of start & end,
and do the math directly.

This check needs to happen before you subtract two unsigned integers,
otherwise the substraction above overflows and this is essentially dead
code.
Before this patch:

TEST: sockettest
48) Test range 192.168.122.20 -> 192.168.122.1(192.168.122.1/24) size -1 ... libvirt:
error : internal error: range 192.168.122.20 - 192.168.122.1 is reversed
