[Bug 1505748] [NEW] twisted.web.client._URI.fromBytes does not handle ipv6 addresses

[LaMont Jones]

Public bug reported:

Certainly by 13.2.0-1ubuntu1 (trusty), fromBytes blows up when handed an
ipv6 address, because of an assumption that the only valid use of a
colon is as part of a port specification.  See also bug #1372767.

Patch attached which should fix the issue, though it is against
1:15.2.1-1ubuntu1, and needs a "s/URI/_URI/g" before it will apply to
the trusty version.
