Fix #3708
The ipv6Address argument to javalib
Inet6Address
constructors is now defensively copied.This makes them effectively immutable to callers.
A change was also made to
InetAddress
equals() method to avoid the overhead of cloning the ipv6Address.This also changed the semantics of the test from the previous loose "the address bytes match" to a more
Java/Scala idiomatic "the fields of the object match". Meaning that the hostnames, if any must match.
A "" hostname will not match a hostname.
