[Libguestfs] [PATCH nbdkit] server: Remove useless thread local sockaddr.

[Richard W.M. Jones]

When accepting a connection on a TCP or Unix domain socket we recorded
the peer address in both the thread_data struct and thread-local
storage.  But for no reason because it was never used anywhere.  Since
we were only allocating a ‘struct sockaddr’ (rather than a ‘struct
sockaddr_storage’) it's likely that some peer addresses would have
been truncated.

Remove all this code, it had no effect.

Plugins that want to get the peer address can use nbdkit_peer_name()
which was added in commit 03a2cc3d766e and doesn't suffer from the
above truncation problem.

(I considered an alternative where we use the saved address to answer
nbdkit_peer_name but since that call will in general be used very
rarely it doesn't make sense to do the extra work for all callers.)
