Fetch an IPv6 source host written without a port (closes #295)

The fetcher took the host from the source URL and stripped a port with
net.SplitHostPort, which fails when there is no port, so a bracketed
IPv6 host such as [2001:db8::a] kept its brackets, its name lookup
failed, and the request answered 500. validateURL now takes the host
with url.URL.Hostname(), which drops the brackets and any port, so such
a host is fetched like one with a port, through /v1/image/ and through
an encrypted URL, and a private IPv6 address is still refused.
