Userspace solutions for this exist already (e.g. Net_IPv6) and thus don't need to be bundled
with the core.

Also functions to extract the IPv4 part in from 2002::/16 addresses.

Description:
------------
PHP really needs functions for handling of IPv6 addresses, Like inet6_aton inet6_ntoa, functions to
expand and collapse addresses (::1, 0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0001, 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1), to
convert to and from v6 mapped IPv4 addresses (::FFFF:1.2.3.4). This is needed to be able make sites
future safe, to be able to store and process things like logs, access-lists, database-storage the
same way for both IPv6 and IPv4 addresses.
