Some types of addresses are data structures; make the address data

pointer in an address structure a "void *", to indicate that it can
point to some arbitrary type of object, rather than a "guint8 *", which
indicates that it points to an array of bytes.

For any address type where the address is a structure, this removes some
alignment warnings; the author of the code to handle a particular
address type has the responsibility of making sure you don't set up the
address structure with misaligned data.  (Yes, it matters, at least on
SPARC.)
