#852 use correct IPv4 address sizes and return types

Various tables in mibII used sometimes wrong ipv4 address size (sizeof(unsigned long)) and mostly the ipv4 addresses were returned in unsigned long*, which is working on little endian 64 bit platform (e.g. intel x86_64), but does not work on big endian (e.g. ppc64).

I have rewritten these parts to return in_addr_t *, which should always work.

Applies to latest SVN, tested on Fedora 7 Linux (x86_64).

Thanks for the patch! It has been applied to the 5.3.x and 5.4.x code branches and the main development tree, and will appear in future releases of the Net-SNMP package.

There's a typo in the patch (as applied in r16799) that breaks the build on quite a few systems.
Fixed in r16806.
