[pve-devel] [RFC v2 pve-common] Add generic parse_host_and_port function

[Wolfgang Bumiller]

Added a generic function to split a host+port string to the
host and port part supporting the two most common ipv6
notations beside domains and ipv4: with brackets for the
address or a dot as port separator.
