Thomas Munro 64ef572c06 Remove configure probes for sockaddr_storage members.
Remove four probes for members of sockaddr_storage.  Keep only the probe
for sockaddr's sa_len, which is enough for our two remaining places that
know about _len fields:

1.  ifaddr.c needs to know if sockaddr has sa_len to understand the
result of ioctl(SIOCGIFCONF).  Only AIX is still using the relevant code
today, but it seems like a good idea to keep it compilable on Linux.

2.  ip.c was testing for presence of ss_len to decide whether to fill in
sun_len in our getaddrinfo_unix() function.  It's just as good to test
for sa_len.  If you have one, you have them all.

(The code in #2 isn't actually needed at all on several OSes I checked
since modern versions ignore sa_len on input to system calls.  Proving
that's the case for all relevant OSes is left for another day, but
wouldn't get rid of that last probe anyway if we still want it for #1.)

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	https://www.postgresql.org/download/

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
