> The IPV6 compressed format regex allows 0 or more hex groups before or after the ::.
> This does not detect too many groups (there should be at most 7 surrounding groups in total).
> It also allows no groups, i.e "::" which is not permitted AFAIK.
> The first issue could be detected by counting the number of ':' characters in the string. 
> There should be no more than 7 colons.
> The empty group could be detected by checking the length of the string - it must be at least 3 characters.
> That should probably be tested first as it is relatively cheap.
