inet_ntop: do not compress single zeros in IPv6

maintainer's note: this change is for conformance with RFC 5952,
4.2.2, which explicitly forbids use of :: to shorten a single 16-bit 0
field when producing the canonical text representation for an IPv6
address. fixes a test failure reported by Philip Homburg, who also
submitted a patch, but this fix is simpler and should produce smaller
code.
