net.ParseIP unable to parse some types of ipv6 addresses

[andrey mirtchovski]

IPv6 addresses including a zone identifier [rfc4007] are not parsed
correctly by net.ParseIP. is there any point in creating an issue or
is this intentional and we're supposed to strip the zone identifier?

parseIP returns a net.IP which is just a slice of bytes without the zone.

However, type net.IPAddr includes the zone.  Looks like net.ResolveIPAddr will do the job:
