Currently, the function accepts a struct sockaddr * but the code
immediately type casts this to either in_addr or in6_addr. This is
incorrect behavior as the first field in a sockaddr is sa_family_t
and not address data.
So without special knowledge, a developer will use a sockaddr structure
as the parameter and then wonder why the address information isn't being
set correctly.
Let's change this parameter to void * which makes this function similar
to inet_pton().
