A malformed IP6Address, i.e. with more than 8 components, will cause the
memmove/memset at the end of parsing to fail. This code is supposed to move
the post-:: bytes to the end of the address and zero out the bytes in the
center. Instead, it moves some of the bytes the wrong way, potentially
writing prior to parts[] and then zeroing with a negative size.

Instead, make the parser stop when it hits 8 components and let parse figure
out that we did not consume the entire String.

I'm worried this isn't right. The bottom of IP6AddressArg::basic_parse has a bunch of d != 7 cases and 8 != 7.
