Alright, I've made an attempt to implement this and attached it to
the bug.  Please let us know how reviewing and testing the patch goes.
Better wording for the man page would also be appreciated.

Brief overview from patch description:
Implement port spec as per sshd(8) ListenAddress

The following are valid hostname entries:
localhost
127.0.0.1
::1
localhost:222
127.0.0.1:222
[::1]:222

The first 3 should remain backward compatible with older versions and
are still written if possible.  The syntax is compatible with the sshd(8)
ListenAddress option (uses the same parser).

usually comes from bad judgement.
