Bug in sesion handling when using IPV6

[kaplun]

Originally on 2012-04-17

Currently, if a user visits Invenio with an IPV6 address, the session will be invalid because it's not possible to extract correctly it's IP address after the changes (re-)introduced in 6459e40

Proper handling of IPV6 address must be introduced.

To reproduce the error just add in your /etc/hosts file something like:

::1     ip6-localhost ip6-loopback localhost

The browser will by default use ::1 when visiting localhost and this will trigger the session to be always invalid.

WebSession: IPv6 session handling fix

- When performing a request over IPv6, disable support for
  CFG_WEBSESSION_IPADDR_CHECK_SKIP_BITS and directly
  handle the full IPv6 address.  (closes #1012)
