[release-branch.go1.21] net/http, net/http/cookiejar: avoid subdomain matches on IPv6 zones

When deciding whether to forward cookies or sensitive headers
across a redirect, do not attempt to interpret an IPv6 address
as a domain name.

Avoids a case where a maliciously-crafted redirect to an
IPv6 address with a scoped addressing zone could be
misinterpreted as a within-domain redirect. For example,
we could interpret "::1%.www.example.com" as a subdomain
of "www.example.com".

Thanks to Juho Nurminen of Mattermost for reporting this issue.

Fixes CVE-2023-45289
Fixes #65385
For #65065
