[Bug 967311] [NEW] Incorrect 6to4 handling

[Kasper Dupont]

Public bug reported:

If I run "whois 2002:5634::", it tells me:
Querying for the IPv4 endpoint 0.0.0.0 of a 6to4 IPv6 address.

However that is not the correct endpoint for the address 2002:5634::

If OTOH I run "2002:5634:0::", it tells me:
Querying for the IPv4 endpoint 86.52.0.0 of a 6to4 IPv6 address.

Since 2002:5634:: and 2002:5634:0:: are different notations for the same
IPv6 address, you'd expect whois to handle both the same, and extract
the IPv4 address 86.52.0.0.
