Bug description:  ip2long returns false instead of -1 for "255.255.255.255"

Description:
------------
ip2long has been changed to return "false" instead of -1 in the event of a
failure, presumably to fix the historical problem of not being able to pass
it "255.255.255.255", which is a valid broadcast address that evaluates to
-1 when converted.

However, ip2long now returns "false" instead of -1 for "255.255.255.255",
which contradicts the PHP documentation.

Reproduce code:
---------------
if (ip2long("255.255.255.255") === false) {
        echo "Bad";
} else {
        echo "OK";
}


Expected result:
----------------
Displays "Bad"

Actual result:
--------------
Should display "OK"
