Details:

Currently, when incoming chat messages are received, only the Ip address is
logged... so I made this tiny patch to also include the port number. Why?
Well, since incoming chatters aren't automatically included to our friends
list, we have to add them manually to be able to chat with them later
(otherwise the chat session will expire--or rather the client id-number will
expire*), and to do that we need their port number, which is not always the
default.

* Is there a way to preserve (ed2k) clients/peers (ie. as identified by the
Client number) longer, for those who send us (non-spam) messages? Adding them
as friends keeps them indefinitely, but should not have to be necessary--ie. I
just want to quickly chat with them, not necessarily give them higher priority
over my shares.

In the future, we should probably make an "Add as friend" button/link
somewhere in the messaging interface to make things easier, as it is already
done when you click on most Client numbers.
