radicle/git/canonical: Fix glob rewrite rule for trailing asterisk

Previously a rule like `refs/heads/releases-*` would be rewritten
incorrectly to `refs/heads/releases-**/*` matching the 'trailing
asterisk' rule.

Simplify the rewrite rule so that a trailing `*` becomes a prefix
matching rule. Add tests.

 - Delete invalid node addresses, of the IPv6 type, from the SQLite address book.
   Entries deleted include ones that have an address of the form `[]:port`, or
   that have an invalid address within the `[]`.
+- Correctly handle the canonical reference rules that have a glob star suffix,
+  e.g., `refs/heads/main*`, `refs/heads/main-*`, etc.
+  Previously, these would be expanded into sub-component searches. For example,
+  in the previous examples, the search would be expanded to
+  `refs/heads/main**/*` and `refs/heads/main-**/*`.
+  Now, the rule will match by prefix, e.g. `refs/heads/main-*` will match
+  `refs/heads/main-a`, `refs/heads/main-b`, `refs/heads/main-deadbeef`, etc.
