Fix numeric IPv6 address handling

This patch fix a issue with numeric IPv6 addresses in the
tftpd -a address[:port] option.

Since IPv6 addresses use colon ':' in differnt counts itself, we cannot detect,
if the last colon is a seperator, so it is needed to put the IPv6 address into
square brackets, e.g. [2001:db8::1], so a optional port assignment is
unambiguous.
The patch also allows to specify numeric IPv6 addresses in other places enclosed
in [], but in these cases it accept these also without [].
