[issue34453] ipaddress module accepts some strange IPv6 addresses that it shouldn't

hi prudvi: i have absolutely no idea.  i am simply running test
validators online, which show and confirm that they are correctly
INVALID.  a google search shows a number of IPv6 validators:
https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=ipv6+address+validator

i have absolutely no actual knowledge of what constitutes a valid IPv6
address or not, nor know of any "official" resources.

all i know is: consensus tends to agree that these two addresses
are accepted by the python ipaddress module when they should not.
