hostctl strips ::0 off ipv6 addresses when adding any domain #88

Description

@alcroito

Describe the bug
My ubuntu 22.04 system has the following lines in /etc/hosts by default

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 localhost
::1 ip6-localhost
::1 ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts

Whenever hostctl is invoked to add any domain, the ::0 addresses get their 0 stripped.

hostctl add domains awesome my-awesome-ui.project.loc my-awesome-api.project.loc

and the resulting file ends up

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 localhost
::1 ip6-localhost
::1 ip6-loopback
fe00:: ip6-localnet # <------
ff00:: ip6-mcastprefix #  <------
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts

Expected behavior
the ipv6 addresses do not get their 0 stripped
