Summary

Intentionally or not, but the libwrap was written in such manner that
if your /etc/hosts.allow doesn't have any domain names, neither smart
keywords like LOCAL or KNOWN, then it will not try to resolve the
client address during the hosts check. This was achieved with the
NOT_INADDR() check that matched IPv4 addresses/prefixes. Extend this
to also skip resolve if client list token looks like IPv6.
