This makes it possible to fetch from an IPv6 literal without specifying
the -g option. Globbing remains available elsehwere in the URL.
For example:
curl http://[::1]/file[1-3].txt
This creates no ambiguity, because there is no overlap between the
syntax of valid globs and valid IPv6 literals. Globs contain hyphens
and at most 1 colon, while IPv6 literals have no hyphens, and at least 2
colons.
The peek_ipv6() parser simply whitelists a set of characters and counts
colons, because the real validation happens later on. The character set
includes A-Z, in case someone decides to implement support for scopes
like [fe80::1%25eth0] in the future.
