Bug description:
  ipmipower in 1.4.11 and 1.5 lack ipv6 support.  This is in-plan for
  1.6 from upstream.

  See also related bug 1645912.

  The -h argument to ipmipower needs to be extended to accept
  [ip:v6::addr]:port type syntax, and the processing of the hostnames
  needs to take into account ipv6 addresses as well.

  [Impact]

   * If a BMC has only IPv6 addresses, then ipmipower cannot discover
  it.

   * MAAS needs to be able to do just that.

  [Test Case]

   * To reproduce / verify the bug, configure a BMC with an IPv6 address, and
     try to talk to it.

  [Regression Potential]

   * If a BMC has both IPv6 and IPv4 addresses in the DNS, and the hostname
     is used to control it, then this change will cause ipmipower to try
     IPv6 first, where it used to completely ignore IPv6 in the DNS.  We
     believe this to be the correct behavior and that it does not affect
     the current installed base.  (IPv6 BMC addresses are not a thing that
     we have been able to find anywhere.)
