Server: use uv_getaddrinfo() for $NVIM_LISTEN_ADDRESS

This change implicitly adds IPv6 support.

If the address contains ":", we try to use a TCP socket instead of a Unix domain
socket. Everything in front of the last occurrence of ":" is the hostname and
everything after it the port.

If the hostname lookup fails, we fall back to using a Unix domain socket.

If the port is empty ("localhost:"), a random port will be assigned.

Examples:

  NVIM_LISTEN_ADDRESS=localhost:12345 -> TCP (IPv4 or IPv6), port: 12345
  NVIM_LISTEN_ADDRESS=localhost:      -> TCP (IPv4 or IPv6), port: random (> 1024)
  NVIM_LISTEN_ADDRESS=localhost:0     -> TCP (IPv4 or IPv6), port: random (> 1024)
  NVIM_LISTEN_ADDRESS=localhost       -> Unix domain socket "localhost" in current dir
