Can this patch please be cleaned up so the code doesn't contain an #ifdef
on every other line?
I would also like to discuss how IPv6 is handled during the server start
and in pg_hba.conf. It seems that we should treat the address families
Unix, IPv4, and IPv6 consistenly, which would mean two things:
(1) pg_hba.conf entries pertaining to the address family are allowed and
present in the default file, no matter whether the address family is used
by the server.
(2) A socket type is explicitly enabled for the server to use, and if
creation fails, server startup fails. It seems that the current code
falls back to IPv4 if IPv6 fails.
