[issue14814] Implement PEP 3144 (the ipaddress module)

[Eli Bendersky]

Eli Bendersky added the comment:

Attaching a new patch that fixes the with_* methods to be more consistent, and the relevant tests too. The doc is now consistent as well.

For some reason IPv6Interface.with_netmask also returned the prefixlen representation. The test justified it by quoting RFC3513/2.3 but I did not see anything there that really forces us to do that. Perhaps the with_netmask/with_hostmask representations are nonsensical for v6 and we keep them for v4 compatibility, but in that case let them be compatible!
