Re: [whatwg/url] Editorial: adopt Infra number definitions (and redo IPv6 pieces) (PR #838)

LGTM, matches whatwg-url with some variable names being clearer in this version.

> +<p>An <dfn export id=concept-ipv6>IPv6 address</dfn> is a <a for=/>128-bit unsigned integer</a> that
+identifies a network address. This integer is composed of a <a for=/>list</a> of 8
+<a for=/>16-bit unsigned integers</a>, also known as an <a for=/>IPv6 address</a>'s
+<dfn export for="IPv6 address" id=concept-ipv6-piece>pieces</dfn>.

I do agree that this is a bit confusing. I can see how it's "conceptually" a u128, or "corresponds to" a u128, but in practice every part of the spec treats it as a list of 8 u16s.
