Summary: Byte-order bug in socket-module getaddrinfo.c

Initial Comment:
It seems to me that there is a byte-order bug in
Modules/getaddrinfo.c, in function getaddrinfo.
On line 415 inet_pton is called, and that is supposed
to return IPv4 address in network byte order. So
the code below in case block (AF_INET) does not
work correctly on little-endian platforms.

I would propose adding line

v4a = ntohl(v4a);

between current lines 423 and 424.
