[issue1746656] IPv6 Interface naming/indexing functions

Also failing to compile on OS X:

http://www.python.org/dev/buildbot/all/builders/AMD64%20Leopard%203.x/builds/1385/steps/test/logs/stdio

The problem seems to be that <net/if.h> is not being included on these
non-Linux systems. Looking at Modules/socketmodule.h reveals that its
inclusion is conditional on HAVE_NETPACKET_PACKET_H:

    #ifdef HAVE_NETPACKET_PACKET_H
    # include <sys/ioctl.h>
    # include <net/if.h>
    # include <netpacket/packet.h>
    #endif

Changing it to something like this should solve the problem:

    #ifdef HAVE_NET_IF_H
    # include <net/if.h>
    #endif

    #ifdef HAVE_NETPACKET_PACKET_H
    # include <sys/ioctl.h>
    # include <netpacket/packet.h>
    #endif
