    in6.h: expose s6_addr* definitions to user level
    
    The only element of of in6_addr that is specified in RFC 3493 or
    in POSIX.1-2017 is s6_addr, implemented via a #define to a union
    member.  However, FreeBSD and other BSD systems have additional
    definitions for the other union members, s6_addr{8,16,32} which
    are defined for the kernel and loader.  Some Linux applications
    also use them, and they seem to be allowed by the RFC and POSIX.
    Remove the current ifdefs, exposing the additional fields to user
    level, and replace with #if __BSD_VISIBLE.  Add an explanatory
    comment expanding on the previous "nonstandard" comment.
