This header defines various constants related to ethernet packets,
with ETH_ALEN being the length of an ethernet address (which is needed
by some ports).
An IPv4 mapped IPv6 address consist of 80 "0" bits, followed by 16 "1"
bits, followed by the 32-bit IPv4 address.
Example of IPv4 mapped IPv6 address:
IPv4 address: 169.219.13.133
IPv6 address: 0000:0000:0000:0000:FFFF:A9DB:0D85
Simplified : ::FFFF:A9DB:0D85
When using the IN6_IS_ADDR_V4MAPPED macro in Serenity's LibC it would
fail when compiling with the error message:
'invalid type argument of '->''.
This patch corrects the macro so that e.g. GLib port can compile again.
1. Move htonl() etc. from <arpa/inet.h> to <netinet/in.h> (which
<arpa/inet.h> includes).
The htonl(), htons(), ntohl(), and ntohs() functions shall be
available as described in <arpa/inet.h>. Inclusion of the
<netinet/in.h> header may also make visible all symbols from
<arpa/inet.h>.
- POSIX
2. Define IN6_IS_ADDR_LOOPBACK() and IN6_IS_ADDR_V4MAPPED()
An IP socket can now join a multicast group by using the
IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP sockopt, which will cause it to start receiving
packets sent to the multicast address, even though this address does
not belong to this host.

Mostly due to the fact that clang-format allows aligned comments via
AlignTrailingComments.
We could also use raw string literals in inline asm, which clang-format
deals with properly (and would be nicer in a lot of places).
