Add IPv6 support to iptables proxier
Add IPv6 support to iptables proxier
The following changes are proposed for the iptables proxier:
- There are three places where a string specifying IP:port is parsed
using something like this:
if index := strings.Index(e.endpoint, ":"); index != -1 {
This will fail for IPv6 since V6 addresses contain colons. Also,
the V6 address is expected to be surrounded by square brackets
(i.e. [<ipv6-addr>]:<port>). Fix this by replacing call to Index with
call to LastIndex() and stripping out square brackets.
- The String() method for the localPort struct should put square brackets
around IPv6 addresses.
- The logging in the merge() method for proxyServiceMap should put brackets
around IPv6 addresses.
- There are several places where filterRules destination is hardcoded to
<clusterIP>/32. This should be a /128 for IPv6 case.
- Add IPv6 unit test cases
Note: I've left out most of the UT test cases that I had included in my original version of this
PR because the number of lines of code change were much too large for a single review.
I'm including a minimum of UT with this current version of the PR.

**What this PR does / why we need it**:
This PR addresses several issues in the iptables proxier for handling IPv6 addresses
that were found via visual code inspection, including:
- There are three places where a string specifying IP:port using something like the following:
if index := strings.Index(e.endpoint, ":"); index != -1 {
This will fail for IPv6 since V6 addresses contains many colons, and the V6 address is expected
to be enclosed in square brackets when followed by :<port>.
- The String() method for the localPort struct should put square brackets around IPv6 addresses.
- The logging in the merge() method for proxyServiceMap should put brackets around IPv6
addresses.
- There are several places where filterRules destination is hardcoded to /32.
Should be a /128 for IPv6 case.
- More IPv6 unit test cases are needed.
