define valid multiserver addresses

format is:

name = [a-z] [a-z0-9\-]+           //name may contain lower case, digits, and -. must start with lower case.
escaped = ![!:;~]                 //special characters !:;~ may be escaped with !
data = ["-9] | [<-}] | escaped        //data field may contain any non-space character, but special characters must be escaped.
protocol = name (:data)*           //a protocol is a name and zero or more data elements
address = protocol (~ protocol )*    //an address is 1 or more protocols
multiaddress = address (; address )* //a multiaddress is 1 or more addresses!

api

follows the pattern of level codec

decode (string) => data

parse a multiserver address

encode (data) => string

reverse of decode

check (string) => boolean

returns true if string is a valid multiserver address. if check returns false, decode will throw if called with the same input.
