Incorrect handling of URLs with IPv6 address as the host part

Description

When installing Wordpress (3.6.1) on a server accessed via an IPv6 address, Wordpress will not record the root URL properly. It will strip the '[]' brackets from the URL.

For example, this can be tested quickly on a localhost using ​http://[::1]/ - although Wordpress will install succesfully, all the links including CSS, scripts, etc. will not work because their URL will be ​http://::1/some/link instead of ​http://[::1]/some/link

Oh, ok, sorry for dupe, I only searched for IPv6-related bugs.
