There seems to be a gnulib module for that:

https://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib/manual/html_node/inet_005fntop.html

There is a page for inet_ntoa too:

https://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib/manual/html_node/inet_005fntoa.html

but there is no gnulib module for it.  Probably because we can always
use inet_ntop instead?

Using that would be preferable to implementing it ourself, if it does
what we need.
