Description

Instead of "alert ip" allow for "alert ipv4" and "alert ip4". Likewise for IPv6.

Interesting question is how this should behave wrt address vars. If HOME_NET contains both ip4 and ip6, how should a rule like "alert ipv4 $HOME_NET..." behave? Error out? Use only the ipv4 part of the addresses?

I think we should only use the matching subset. But it could trigger some funny things like a null subset. It this case, we should ERROR out.

Agreed. I think the rule analyzer should also display this information.

Current code uses only the matching part of a variable. It does not fire an error if there is no intersection. It may be enough to have the rule analysers trigger a warning.
