What about the case when hostname is an IPv4/6 address?
We already have Curl_inet_pton() to check this with.

So if 'data->set.ip_version == CURL_IPRESOLVE_V6', and address
is an IPv4 address, should that be allowed? And vice-versa, if
'data->set.ip_version == CURL_IPRESOLVE_V4' and address is
is an IPv6 address (make an exception for V4 mapped or compatible
addresses maybe).

And if Curl_inet_pton() succeeded for either AF_INET/AF_INET6, should
there be any need to call getaddrinfo()? We could just make an 'in_addr' or
'in6_addr' to 'struct addrinfo' repacker. Do we really need 'ai_canonname'?
But the rest of the fields are given.
