test: don't connect to :: (use localhost instead)

If a test does http.listen(0) or net.listen(0), http.listen(0).address().address returns '::'. Some machines will resolve this to localhost, but not all. Every machine should have localhost defined in /etc/hosts (or equivalent), so it should always resolve.
