As per project's README:
> Recent systems can resolve IPv6 host names using getaddrinfo(). This
> primitive is not present in all libcs and does not work in all of
> them either. Support in glibc was broken before 2.3. Some embedded
> libs may not properly work either, thus, support is disabled by
> default, meaning that some host names which only resolve as IPv6
> addresses will not resolve and configs might emit an error during
> parsing. If you know that your OS libc has reliable support for
> getaddrinfo(), you can add USE_GETADDRINFO=1 on the make command
> line to enable it. This is the recommended option for most Linux
> distro packagers since it's working fine on all recent mainstream
> distros. It is automatically enabled on Solaris 8 and above, as it's
> known to work.
Without this option, it is not possible for HAProxy to solve IPv6-only
names. This option is enabled in Debian builds without any notable
adverse effect.

The web_access.patch would no longer apply.
It disabled a check that required the static files
for the web UI to be owned by the user the daemon runs as
(not root, so it doesn't work well with nix).
Besides updating netdata, this commit removes that patch,
changes the netdata service config to set the "web files owner/group"
option to "root" and adds a test that checks that the web UI is being served.
This allows the web files to be owned by root without patching.
