Description
The SphinxSE sphinx_snippets had a erronous test condition on the getaddrinfo return value. With this inverted there was always an error.
The entire CSphUrl::Connect also failed to handle IPv6 addresses. As getaddrinfo can return multiple addresses it makes sense to try each of these.
Performing freeaddrinfo(hp) on an error condition in getaddrinfo caused a SEGV.
Removed some boilerplate #ifdef around very old MySQL versions and unused defines.
Thanks to bug report by Misagh Laghaei who kindly refered me to manticoresoftware/manticoresearch#3804 by Sergey Nikolaev prostuda@academ.org that showed showed the getaddrinfo handling errors, and other odd handling of connection code.
