INN and actual IP address in innfeed.status file

These addresses are the ones known for the host (after a DNS query).
We currently do not report the IP which is really used.  It is not planned
to do so.  (The original patch for theses addresses is from D. Stussy,
on news.software.nntp; maybe you could ask him if he plans to...)

Note that innfeed can use multiple connections and therefore possibly
multiple IPs.


> Yes, npc5 accept only IPv6 connections, not IPv4, but innfeed.status show first address as IPv6.

You may want to use "bindaddress: none" in innfeed.conf
