ipv6 addresses with square brackets cannot be used with the --add-host option #4648

Description

Using any ipv6 address with --add-host produces an error:

for "--add-host" flag: invalid IP address in add-host: <ipv6 address>

Reproduce

$ docker run --add-host "host.docker.internal:[::1]" nginx

> invalid argument "host.docker.internal:[::1]" for "--add-host" flag: invalid IP address in add-host: "[::1]"
> See 'docker run --help'.

Expected behavior

I am looking to be able to curl -g -6 "http://[::1]:8080/" from inside of the container. This is not possible, as --add-host does not allow specifying [::1] as the host's address.
