Unable to establish a connection with SOCKS5 proxy using a IPv6 address using command line switches.

Reported by cenda...@gmail.com, Feb 27 2018

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/64.0.3282.186 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Start chrome using the SOCKS5 flags
e.g chrome --proxy-server=socks5://[ip::v6]:1080 --host-resolver-rules="MAP * ~NOTFOUND, EXCLUDE [ip::v6]"

2. Browse to any website

What is the expected behavior?
Chrome should be able to successfully connect to and utilize the SOCKS5 proxy.

What went wrong?
I receive ERR_PROXY_CONNECTION_FAILED in response.

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 64.0.3282.186  Channel: stable
OS Version: 10.0
Flash Version: 

I have verified that my SOCKS5 setup is functional, that authentication is turned off, and tested that other extensions & clients can connect to and use the IPv6 SOCKS5 server. (e.g https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/proxy-helper/mnloefcpaepkpmhaoipjkpikbnkmbnic?hl=en works fine)

IPv6 literal brackets strike again!

I suspect the problem is that instead of:

--proxy-server=socks5://[ip::v6]:1080 --host-resolver-rules="MAP * ~NOTFOUND, EXCLUDE [ip::v6]"

You want:

--proxy-server=socks5://[ip::v6]:1080 --host-resolver-rules="MAP * ~NOTFOUND, EXCLUDE ip::v6"

Since when applying the exclusion rules, it interprets it as a hostname (not a hostname:port).
