Fixes: #7882 #3272

Link local IPv6 addresses have the format [IPv6-address%interface]:port, notice the extra %interface part which is called the zone. Unlike link local IPv4 addresses, link local IPv6 addresses are not globally unique, instead they can be re-used for each network interface. As a result, the interface is required to disambiguate link local IPv6 addresses (see wikipedia).

Since net.ParseIP doesn't support such addresses, the PR replaces usages of net.ParseIP with the new ipnet.PareAddr which support IPv6 addresses with zones and also returns parsing errors.

RELEASE NOTES:

  • dns: Add support for link local IPv6 addresses.

As mentioned offline:

Should we audit all uses of net.ParseIP and change them (and maybe have vet.sh forbid its use)?

I've replaced all usages of net.ParseIP and added a line in vet.sh to catch usages in the future. PTAL.

Great, thanks! Glad to see almost all the other uses were just in tests.

Not sure what this old redundant net.IP cast was about, but now it's actually necessary. :)

Would this be taken care of as well with this change: #3272?
