netstat output issues

Two small issues I found in busybox's netstat vs non-busybox versions:
1. The "any" address 0.0.0.0 or :: is not printed as '*' but actually
looked up via the resolver. If nothing else this is a waste of
time; it's also (at least in my opinion) uglier and harder to read.
2. IPv6 literals are printed without brackets around them, resulting
in confusion between the port number and the ':' characters within
the address.
Neither is a big deal, but these might be nice to fix at some point if
others agree.
