- Completes a longstanding TODO in the code, to not ignore
the optional family, type, proto and flags arguments to
socket.getaddrinfo().
- Note that passing family=socket.AF_INET6 will now cause queries
to fail (OSError -202). Previously this argument was ignored so
IPV4 results were returned instead.
- Optional 'type' argument is now always copied into the result. If not
set, results have type SOCK_STREAM.
- Fixes inconsistency where previously querying mDNS local suffix (.local)
hostnames returned results with socket type 0 (invalid), but all other
queries returned results with socket type SOCK_STREAM (regardless of
'type' argument).
- Optional proto argument is now returned in the result tuple, if supplied.
- Optional flags argument is now passed through to lwIP. lwIP has handling
for AI_NUMERICHOST, AI_V4MAPPED, AI_PASSIVE (untested, constants for
these are not currently exposed in the esp32 socket module).
- Also fixes a possible memory leak in an obscure code path
(lwip_getaddrinfo apparently sometimes returns a result structure with
address "0.0.0.0" instead of failing, and this structure would have been
leaked.)
