This change was made in order to allow things produced with Odin and using Odin's core library, to not require the LICENSE to also be distributed alongside the binary form.
The main motivation for this is to have sinergy with flags parsing, currently
flags for a sockaddr returns a net.Host_Or_Endpoint, but we can't just dial
from it since there isn't a variant.
Consider the following:
```
Options :: struct {
target: net.Host_Or_Endpoint `args:"pos=0,required" usage:"host:port"`,
}
before :: proc() -> (sock: net.TCP_Socket, err: net.Network_Error) {
opt: Options
flags.parse_or_exit(&opt, os.args)
switch t in opt.target {
case net.Host:
sock, err = net.dial_tcp(t.hostname, t.port)
case net.Endpoint:
sock, err = net.dial_tcp(t)
}
return
}
after :: proc() -> (sock: net.TCP_Socket, err: net.Network_Error) {
opt: Options
flags.parse_or_exit(&opt, os.args)
sock, err = net.dial_tcp(opt.target)
return
}
```
For completion, add dial_tcp_from_host() and define the upper functions in terms
of the newly added ones, cuts one repeated block, now:
from_hostname_and_port_string is parse + from_host_or_endpoint
from_hostname_with_port_override is parse + override + from_host_or_endpoint
from_host is to_endpoint + from_endpoint
from_host_or_endpoint is from_endpoint or from_host
