Bug Description

Keystone with memcached token caching uses python-memcached which has this parsing:
https://github.com/linsomniac/python-memcached/blob/0864fa4c50aeab49e1adb4551730fa0dacff4889/memcache.py#L1212

While Swift has this parsing:
https://github.com/openstack/swift/blob/e9f5e7966a064f7a675c71c059e8d3a9a48b8745/swift/common/utils.py#L119

The following would be the keystone config:
[keystone_authtoken]
memcached_servers=inet6:[::1]:11211

While this would be the swift cache config:
[filter:cache]
use = egg:swift#memcache
memcache_servers = [::1]:11211

This isn't really a bug, just wish the format (and the parameter name) was consistent, it'd be more straightforward.

We could chance the re in swift to something like "^(inet6:)?\[(?P<address>.*)\](:(?P<port>[0-9]+))?$" so the 'inet6:' part it optional.. then we would support both forms.

Couple notes:

* This would also impact the nameservers option for cname_lookup [1], but I don't really see it as a problem.
* We'll also need to tweak the startswith args in parse_socket_string [2].
