os: Fix a type error in the IPv6 XDMCP code
Building with strict-aliasing rightly chirps here: ../os/xdmcp.c: In function ‘XdmcpRegisterConnection’: ../os/xdmcp.c:489:31: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules [-Wstrict-aliasing] &((struct sockaddr_in6 *) &address)->sin6_addr.s6_addr[12]; ^~~~~~~~~~~~ We have "const char *address", so &address here is a char ** (i.e., it points to the slot on the stack containing the pointer to the character array passed in as an argument). Casting that to a struct sockaddr_in6 * is wrong, because it means that area of the stack will be reinterpreted as a struct sockaddr_in6. Instead, cast address, not &address.
