Subject: Fix check for IPv6 any address

The string '::' is just one of many possible ways to express
the IPv6 "any" address. Others include '::0', '0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0',
'0::0' and more. Instead of trying to do strcmp, actually try
parsing the address with GInetAddress and then simply use an
accessor to check what type it is
