Summary

When attempting to characterize bound addresses, netstat was checking
for host 0 on a (historical) net using inet_lnaof(). Such addresses
are not normally bound, as they would not work, with the exception
of the unspecified address, INADDR_ANY. Check for that explicitly.
Similarly, don't check bound addresses for a match to a network name.
