Fix bug for parsing IPv6 addresses (#17)

IPv6 addresses contain colons ':' and since sshtunnel uses strings.Split(addr, ":"), to spit host and port, it ends up resulting in faulty splits. Using net.SplitHostPort fixes this since it handles IPv6 addresses correctly. If the user did not supply a port, then endpoint.Host is left as is.

This includes a partially breaking change where NewEdnpoint and NewSSHTunnel will now return an error. If you are not using IPv6 it is safe to ignore this error.
