v4-compatible addresses in ipv6 are a deprecated feature where the
high 96 bits are all zero and an ipv4 address is stored in the low
32 bits. however, since :: and ::1 are the unspecified and loopback
addresses, these two particular values are excluded from the
definition of the v4-compat class.
our version of the macro incorrectly assessed this condition by
checking only the high 96 and low 8 bits. this incorrectly excluded
the v4compat version of any ipv4 address ending in .1, not just ::1.
rather than writing out non-obvious or error-prone conditions on the
individual address bytes, just express the "not :: or ::1" condition
naturally using the existing IN6_IS_ADDR_UNSPECIFIED and
IN6_IS_ADDR_LOOPBACK macros, after checking that the high 96 bits are
all zero. any vaguely reasonable compiler will collapse out the
redundant tests of the upper bits as part of CSE.
