Set sin_family properly.

Pruning down some C-style socket code, I determined that sin_family was the
deciding factor on this behavior.  Unfortunately, it is unclear to me why this
would've regressed from 2.026 (since sin_family has never been set?)

Graham, you can work around this issue and verify the fix by recompiling phobos
or by writing a subclass for InternetAddress, e.g.:

---
import std.c.linux.socket, core.sys.posix.sys.socket;
import std.socket;

class MyInternetAddress: InternetAddress
{
        this(string addr, ushort port)
        {
                sin.sin_family = AddressFamily.INET;
                super(addr, port);
        }

        this(uint addr, ushort port)
        {
                sin.sin_family = AddressFamily.INET;
                super(addr, port);
        }

        this(ushort port)
        {
                sin.sin_family = AddressFamily.INET;
                super(port);
        }
}

If you could verify this fixes your issue, it would be appreciated.

Thanks,
