Support IPv6 address in pa_socket_client_new_string()

pa_socket_client_new_string() did not work as expected when an IPv6
address string like "2001:db8::1" is passed as the "name" parameter.
This is because the name parameter is then passed to pa_parse_address(),
which thinks the last colon as a separator between hostname (or address)
and a port number. To prevent pa_parse_address() from doing this, an IPv6
address must be bracketed with "[]" (e.g. "[2001:db8::1]"). [1]

This patch fixes pa_socket_client_new_string() so that it internally
adds brackets to an IPv6 address. This decision is based on a
discussion at [2].
