NOTE!
- This parser can be applied to the original plugin.
- The default "ipAdress" parser (IPv4) is included with the original tablesorter.
- A parser for IPv6 was added in v2.12 and named "ipv6Address":
				- Unlike some other custom parsers, this one will auto-detect & check for a valid IPv6 address since the same address can be represented in many different ways. Some examples are shown in the demo table below.
- IPv6 addresses are stored in the cache in their canonical decimal form, without the colons, for faster & easier numerical sorting.
- Extensive unit tests are included with this parser.
 
- If the parser doesn't auto-detect which column has IPv6 addresses, use the headers sorter option to set it:
				$(function(){ $('table').tablesorter({ headers: { 2: { sorter: 'ipv6Address' } } }); });
