The existing description was incorrect for socket addresses, and
misleading: users would see “invalid IP address syntax” and suppose they
were supposed to provide an IP address rather than a socket address.
I contemplated making it two variants (IP, socket), but realised we can
do still better for the IPv4 and IPv6 types, so here it is as six.
I contemplated more precise error descriptions (e.g. “invalid IPv6
socket address syntax: expected a decimal scope ID after %”), but that’s
a more invasive change, and probably not worthwhile anyway.
