uclient-http: fix Host: header for literal IPv6 addresses
For literal IPv6 addresses, the host header must have the form Host: [...] including the square brackets, as it may also contain a port. Some webservers ignore the missing brackets, while others will return error 400. IPv6 addresses are determined by searching for ':' characters in the host, as neither IPv4 addresses nor DNS names can contain colons. An alternative would be to add a flag to the uclient_url struct; but as this struct is exposed in public headers, such a change could be considered an ABI change, making a backport difficult.
