The inconsistency will require extra work for message output.  A number
of messages relating to address/port have one argument for the address
and one for the port, e.g.

STATS_HTTPD_CLOSING closing %1#%2

If we use different formats for IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, we'll need
rewrite the code so that the address formatting is done prior to logging.
