Patch that will modify xe-update-guest-attrs

Hi there,

I use this port a lot and I've discovered a bug in it. The guest agent for
FreeBSD (a) only reports IPv4 addresses for VMs and doesn't report IPv6
addresses, (b) uses a format in the xenstore that is not the right way to do
things these days. There's a github issue that talks about it
(https://github.com/xapi-project/xen-api/issues/5166). Since it's just a shell
script, I've got a working fix on my system and I'd like to contribute the
patch upward.

xapi has moved toward a format like attr/vif/0/ipv4/0 = 10.1.1.1, whereas the
current code creates an attribute like attr/eth0/ip = 10.1.1.1. This patch
fixes that. Also, xenstore expects one IP per attribute. The old code would
send several space-separated IPs (e.g., attr/eth0/ip = '10.1.1.1 10.1.1.2').
The new code would send one IP per attribute (e.g., attr/vif/0/ipv4/0 =
10.1.1.1, attr/vif/0/ipv4/1 = 10.1.1.2)

The current port is 6.2.0_3. Since this was a significant change, I bumped the
version to 6.3.0 and took away PORTREVISION. Happy to do it differently if that
isn't how it's supposed to be.

I see that there is no maintainer for this port. I might consider volunteering
as maintainer for the port, but let's see if I can contribute a patch
successfully first. Long-time listener, first time contributor, so please be
gentle. :) 

Paco
