properly handle point-to-point interfaces in getifaddrs()

With point-to-point interfaces, the IFA_ADDRESS netlink attribute
contains the peer address while an extra attribute IFA_LOCAL carries
the actual local interface address.

Both the glibc and uclibc implementations of getifaddrs() handle this
case by moving the ifa_addr contents to the broadcast/remote address
union and overwriting ifa_addr upon receipt of an IFA_LOCAL attribute.

This patch adds the same special treatment logic of IFA_LOCAL to
musl's implementation of getifaddrs() in order to align its behaviour
with that of uclibc and glibc.
