In src/api/netdb.c struct hostent *lwip_gethostbyname(const char *name)
line No 117, the lwip_gethostbyname() function returns the wrong h_length.
i.e for an IPv4 address passed to lwip_gethostbyname() the returned h_length should be 4. Instead, the returned value is 24.

Also, In case an IPv6 address is passed to lwip_gethostbyname() the returned h_addrtype is hard coded to AF_INET.

The changes submitted address these issues by using IP_ADDR_RAW_SIZE() macro to get the correct size. and checks the  address type with IP_GET_TYPE() macro and then returning AF_INET or AF_INET6 accordingly.
