The url for metadata server would fail if user provided IPv6 address as GCE_METADATA_HOST env. For backwards compatibility new code accepts the following: * domain, i.e. `mymetadataserver.domain.com` * domain with port, i.e. `mymetadataserver.domain.com:8080` * IPv4 address, i.e. `127.0.0.1` * IPv4 address with port, i.e. `127.0.0.1:8080` * IPv6 address, i.e. `::1` * IPv6 address within square brackers, i.e. `[::1]` * IPv6 address with port, i.e. `[::1]:8080` BREAKING CHANGE: As the new code performs URL validation, it will fallback to the `DEFAULT_METADATA_SERVER_URL` if provided env variable results in invalid URL (this is behavioral change as prior to it, the malformed URL would be passed to upper layers and result in invalid request attempt).
