Agreed.

Yes, please. I don't think there's anything there that's needed by only
the frontend, but some of the functions are needed by only the backend.
So I think we'll end up with src/common/ip.c, and
src/backend/libpq/be-ip.c. (Not sure about those names, pick something
that makes sense, given what's left in the files.)
