A small patch that allows IPv6 addresses to be used as peers. This is currently prevented due to a conflict between net.IP (which wants the address without brackets) and net.Dial (which requires brackets).
Also modified the way peers are parsed to allow a port to be added so it becomes possible to connect to a peer not listening on the default port. Due to the way net.IP and net.SplitHostPort work this does cause the somewhat confusing situation that IPv6 addresses without a port are only accepted without brackets, but addresses with a port require them.
