…inux. (dlang/dmd!16233)

You can see the correct declaration for ifaddrs on Linux here:

https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/getifaddrs.3.html

What the fields are supposed to be named is ifa_broadaddr and
ifa_dstaddr. However, because Linux defines them using a union, it gives
them different names within the union - ifu_broadaddr and ifu_dstaddr -
and then #defines the proper names to access the union names.

What druntime did was use the union names - and then incorrectly name
ifu_dtsaddr as if_dstaddr. So, it was doubly wrong for that field.

The two approaches that we could take here would be to either

1. Turn the union into a type so that we could have an ifa_ifu field to
   allow accessing the ifu_* names that way - as is technically possible
   in C - and then add wrapper functions with the ifa_* names (since we
   couldn't use an alias to access members of the union member
   variable).

2. Just rename the fields to ifa_* and ignore the fact that you can
   technically access the ifu_* fields via the union name in C.

The simpler approach is #2, so that's what this commit does. I'm pretty
sure that the ability to access the ifu_* fields via the union name is
just an implementation detail - particularly since other platforms just
declare the ifa_* names without using a union at all.

Either way, deprecated aliases are provided so that existing code
doesn't break.
