IPV6BADCHAR: Split up?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

After explode() we are checking each single "group" against the pattern 
[0-9A-Fa-f]{0,4}. If it does not match, we are sending IPV6BADCHAR.

This diagnosis could be confusing if we check

:ffdee:

Here we do NOT have bad characters inside, instead we have just a too long 
"group". Maybe we should define and alternative error-code for it.

(PS: Why did you match with preg_grep() and not with preg_match() as my initial 
version draft was?)

I've changed the description of ISEMAIL_IPV6BADCHAR to "The IPv6 address 
contains an illegal group of characters" in is_email_statustext.php

I used preg_grep to avoid writing a loop in PHP code when it could be done by 
the underlying engine. I didn't benchmark it because it's difficult to know how 
real-world data would impact this choice. I did it mainly because there is less 
code this way.
