Add network listen functions that accept a family argument (AF_INET(6?)).
These allow code to portably support IPv6 for listeners (mostly file
transfers and Bonjour). Callers should use the purple_socket_speaks_ipv4
to determine whether they need two sockets or just an IPv6 one. I used
GIO's g_socket_speaks_ipv4 as the inspiration for that.
For information on writing a plugin for Purple, Pidgin or Finch, go http://developer.pidgin.im and click on API. From there, see the HOWTOs in the "Related Pages" section. You can also generate this documentation locally by installing doxygen and graphviz dot, then running "make docs" in the source tree. The documentation will be in the docs/html directory.
