> pn_proactor_connect and listen take a const char* string as the network
> address. This creates ambiguity about what the string means. URLs are complex
> to parse and construct and pn_url_t has been deprecated because it does not
> follow the URL standards well. Ad-hoc string formats like "host:port" are
> confusing since IPv6 host addresses can contains ":" characters.
> Provide a simple pn_netaddr_t that can
> - provide a unquoted, separate host and port strings to connect and listen
> - inspect incoming addresses as standard struct sockaddr
> - get a readable, but not parsable, string from any network address
> - is extensible, in a binary compatible way, to support other address types
> for connect/listen in future
> Note it is not a requirement (yet) to be able to connect/listen using an
> arbitrary sockaddr but it should be possible to add such support in future in
> a source and binary compatible way.
