rig_open not recognizing localhost or IPV6

[mdblack98]

rig_open will change rigport.type.rig = RIG_PORT_NETWORK; when it detects an IPV4 quad address with port added...e.g. 192.168.1.1:4532
But it fails to change to network with these
localhost:4532
abcd::abcd:abcd:abcd:abcd:4532

hostnames and localhost now work and an IPV6 address will cause rig type to change to NETWORK but network_open doesn't recognize standard IPV6 addresses yet.

What works now on Windows and Linux -- to be added to rigctld man page
rigctld
rigctl -m 2
rigctl -m 2 -r 127.0.0.1
rigctl -m 2 -r localhost
rigctl -m 2 -r 192.168.1.1 (local IP address)
rigctl -m 2 -r ::1 (does not work on Linux as it does not listen on IPV6 by default)

rigctld -T 127.0.0.1
rigctl -m 2
rigctl -m 2 -r 127.0.0.1
Exceptions:
rigctl -m 2 -r localhost (only works if localhost is IPV4 address)

rigctld -T localhost (will set up on IPV4/6 , "ping localhost" tells you which one
rigctl -m 2
rigctl -m 2 -r localhost
rigctl -m 2 ip6-localhost
Exceptions:
rigctl -m 2 -r 127.0.0.1 (only works if localhost is IPV4 address)
rigctl -m 2 -r ::1 (only works localhost is IPV6 address)
On Linux only where ip6-localhost fe00::0
rigctld -T ip6-localhost
rigctl -m 2 -r ip6-localhost

Enough IP6 stuff for now. May have to do more in the future but not a big demand item right now.
