Introduce new IPAddress classes
This patch unifies the netutils functions dealing with IP addresses to
three classes:
- IPAddress: Common IP address functionality
- IPv4Address: IPv4 specific functionality
- IPv6address: IPv6-specific functionality
Furthermore it adds methods to check whether an address is a loopback
address, replacing the .startswith("127") for IPv4 and adding IPv6
support.
It also provides the basis for future IPv6 address handling. Methods to
convert IP strings to their corresponding interger values will allow to
canonicalize IPv6 addresses.
