[Bug 1634949] [NEW] nova's checking for local and catch-all address fails to check for all valid IPv6 representations

 

Public bug reported:

_check_graphics_addresses_can_live_migrate checks to see if an address is local or catch all by
doing a match against 

            LOCAL_ADDRS = ('0.0.0.0', '127.0.0.1', '::', '::1')

In IPv6, due to zero compression, there are many different valid ways to represent :: and ::1
(since leading zeros don't need to be suppressed)
