Now that the parser was unified, let's fix the original issue.  The
parser splits the line on the ':' character too for key-value tables,
which means that ipv6 addresses are misparsed.  The "::1 localhost"
example given at the bottom of table(5) is actually parsed as key "" and
value ":1 localhost".

For list tables, the special comment "# @list" can be used to turn off
the automatic key/value splitting, but for key-valued tables the parser
needs to be fixed.

Furthermore, smtpd serializes ipv6 addresses by wrapping them in braces
before querying the tables, so even if "::1 localhost" worked, it would
still not match at runtime as ::1 doesn't match [::1].

The manpage also lists ipv6:::1 as example, that is similarly broken.

So, I'm proposing to require ipv6 addresses to be wrapped in braces in
table(5) files, and to amend the parser to skip over to the matching ]
if the line starts with [.  Is it enough or should it be more strict?

Before the diff: (only the first two entries are interesting, the rest
is just there to make sure I'm not breaking existing behaviours)

	suzaku% cat t
	[::1]: bar
	[::2]   bar
	foo1    bar
	foo2:   bar
	foo3:bar
	foo4 :  bar
	foo5 :: bar
	foo6::bar
	foo7:: bar
	suzaku% makemap t && makemap -U t.db
	makemap: t:2: duplicate entry for [

after:

	suzaku% ln -s smtpctl/obj/smtpctl makemap
	suzaku% ./makemap t && ./makemap -U t.db | sort
	[::1]   bar
	[::2]   bar
	foo1    bar
	foo2    bar
	foo3    bar
	foo4    bar
	foo5    :: bar
	foo6    :bar
	foo7    bar

with the exception of the [::1] and [::2] lines, the rest of the table
is still parsed exactly as before.

thoughs?
