[krbdev.mit.edu #3140] kerberos client unable to parse ipv6 addresses from krb5.conf

While testing the kerberos release with a ipv6 configuration, we found
that kerberos client is not able to parse v6 addresses from the krb5.conf 
configuration file.

Proposed fix:

<krb path>/lib/krb5/os/locate_kdc.c has been modified and the fix was
tested to correctly parse the ipv6 addresses.

The unified diffs is enclosed below
