Add ipv6-support

Registered by Steve McLellan

Elasticsearch merged a change in April 2016 that will mean ipv6 support in IP field types - see https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/pull/17746.

Since this will obviously only appear in upcoming releases we need to pick the point at which we switch IP fields over to "type": "ip".

Elasticsearch 5.0 will include this, and should be released sometime this year.
