Some comments in no particular order:

1. Patch is damaged. If unsure how to configure your mail client
to not damage patches - please use attachments instead.

2. There are multiple style issues and unrelated changes, you may
want to cleanup them.

3. Result looks inconsistent: it uses separate function to
parse unix domain urls, and joined one to parse ipv4/ipv6.
There should be clear point where address family separation is
done.

4. Allowing bare IPv6 addresses without [] is bad idea, you can't
distingush ipv6 address without port "[::1:80]" from one with
port "[::1]:80" if written without [], i.e. as "::1:80". It's
good idea to follow rfc3986 instead.

5. There are systems without getaddrinfo() or with broken one. It
should be only used when compiled with ipv6.

6. Introduction of ngx_inet_sock_addr() is clearly separate and at
least should be kept as separate patch. It is not clear why
you ever need it though, using ngx_parse_url() with correct
flags should do the trick.

Some more comments inline.

Unrelated change (and style violation). Same applies to other
places as well.

As a result of the changes it no longer returns error "the INET6
sockets are not supported on this platform" when ipv6 isn't
compiled in, but produces some obscure error instead.

This is certainly incorrect message change. Not only listen
sockets may have "u->uri_part" not set.

Style: there should be no space between function name and "(".
Same applies to other places as well.
