Josh Triplett 48776ce233 Support displays with IPv6 addresses or hosts which resolve to IPv6 addresses 
xcb_parse_display already correctly handled IPv6 displays.  Now, _xcb_open_tcp
uses getaddrinfo, and correctly connects to IPv6 displays.  Displays can use
bare IPv6 addresses, square-bracketed IPv6 addresses, or hostnames which
resolve to IPv6 addresses.

Since IPv6 addresses may include colons, including at the end, revise the
DECnet display parsing code to avoid triggering on IPv6 addresses.

Authorization may not work with IPv6 connections yet.

This commit brought to you by the (display) number ::1:1.1, the letter X,
the Gobby collaborative editor, Josh Triplett, and Jamey Sharp.

About libxcb
============

libxcb provides an interface to the X Window System protocol, slated to
replace the current Xlib interface. It has several advantages over
Xlib, including:
- size: small library and lower memory footprint
- latency hiding: batch several requests and wait for the replies later
- direct protocol access: one-to-one mapping between interface and protocol
- proven thread support: transparently access XCB from multiple threads
- easy extension implementation: interfaces auto-generated from XML-XCB

Xlib can also use XCB as a transport layer, allowing software to make
requests and receive responses with both, which eases porting to XCB.
However, client programs, libraries, and toolkits will gain the most
benefit from a native XCB port.


Please report any issues you find to the freedesktop.org bug tracker,
at:

	<https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=XCB>

Discussion about XCB occurs on the XCB mailing list:

        <mailto:xcb at lists.freedesktop.org>
        <http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xcb>

You can obtain the latest development versions of XCB using GIT.
