scm_from_ipv6

[Kevin Ryde]

A simplification,

        * socket.c (scm_from_ipv6): Just use mpz_import.  Don't bother trying
        to fit scm_from_ulong_long, since that uses mpz_import anyway.  Don't
        bother trying to fit scm_from_ulong, not really worth the trouble if
        addresses are more than 4 bytes usually.
