parse_proxy: reject illegal port numbers
If the port number in the proxy string ended weirdly or the number is too large, skip it. Mostly as a means to bail out early if a "bare" IPv6 numerical address is used without enclosing brackets. Also mention the bracket requirement for IPv6 numerical addresses to the man page for CURLOPT_PROXY. Closes #415 Reported-by: Marcel Raad
