 PH/18 Exim was not recognizing the "net-" search type prefix in match_ip lists

+PH/19 Exim expands the IPv6 address given to -bh to its full non-abbreviated
+      canonical form (as documented). However, after a host name lookup from
+      the IP address, check_host() was doing a simple string comparison with
+      addresses acquired from the DNS when checking that the found name did
+      have the original IP as one of its addresses. Since any found IPv6
+      addresses are likely to be in abbreviated form, the comparison could
+      fail. Luckily, there already exists a function for doing the comparison
+      by converting both addresses to binary, so now that is used instead of
+      the text comparison.
