* is_valid_ip() is now implemented as a BIF instead of in
base/utils/addrs
* The IPv4 and IPv6 regular expressions provided by base/utils/addrs
have been improved/corrected (previously they could possibly match
some invalid IPv4 decimals, or various "zero compressed" IPv6 strings
with too many hextets)
* extract_ip_addresses() should give better results as a result of
the above two points
These functions are now deprecated in favor of alternative versions that
return a vector of strings rather than a table of strings.
Deprecated functions:
- split: use split_string instead.
- split1: use split_string1 instead.
- split_all: use split_string_all instead.
- split_n: use split_string_n instead.
- cat_string_array: see join_string_vec instead.
- cat_string_array_n: see join_string_vec instead.
- join_string_array: see join_string_vec instead.
- sort_string_array: use sort instead instead.
- find_ip_addresses: use extract_ip_addresses instead.
Changed functions:
- has_valid_octets: uses a string_vec parameter instead of string_array.
Addresses BIT-924, BIT-757.
