Remove special handling of localhost6 and localhost6.localdomain6

This CL removes host names and "localhost6" and
"localhost6.localdomain6" from the list of known IPv6-only localhost.
This means they will be resolved using the native DNS resolver rather
than Chrome's internal one and that they won't be treated as
"potentially trustworthy" origins [1] [2]. This aligns with the behavior
of WebKit and Firefox, is expected to have low backward compatibility
risk and one can configure things to preserve existing support [3] [4].

Logo Chromium

Chromium is an open-source browser project that aims to build a safer, faster, and more stable way for all users to experience the web.

The project's web site is https://www.chromium.org.

Documentation in the source is rooted in docs/README.md.

Learn how to Get Around the Chromium Source Code Directory Structure .

For historical reasons, there are some small top level directories. Now the guidance is that new top level directories are for product (e.g. Chrome, Android WebView, Ash). Even if these products have multiple executables, the code should be in subdirectories of the product.
