Address ranges in address match lists (IPv4 and IPv6)

ACLs, views' match lists, options with address match lists and blocking
client groups take ranges such as 10.0.10.101-10.0.10.199 or
2001:db8::100-2001:db8::1ff (negated, or with spaces around the dash, too).
Jarl stores the range as written and writes the fewest prefixes that cover
exactly that range to named.conf, with the range as a comment. New package
internal/iprange; namedconf gets an AMRange element (a range used to parse
as an ACL name), ExpandRanges and statement comments. Mistakes are refused
when entered, validation sees what ranges cover, and IPv6 ranges in the
IPv4-mapped space get a warning. The web UI shows what a range becomes
while typing (GET /catalog/ranges).

In the web UI, the Blocking page's **Devices** panel holds the steps and
the groups, and each list has a step.
- **Members** are addresses, networks (`10.10.0.0/24`), or ACLs made only
of those (`key`, `localnets` and `!` can't be used: blocking matches
- **Members** are addresses, networks (`10.10.0.0/24`), ranges
(`10.10.0.20-10.10.0.49`), or ACLs made only of those (`key`, `localnets` and `!` can't be used: blocking matches
clients by address). A device is in one group: two groups with the same
address are refused, but a more specific address in another group wins
(`10.10.0.0/24` in one group, `10.10.0.20` in another).

alphabetical within a group. So the same option is in the same place in

* **Address ranges.** Wherever named takes an address match list (ACLs,
views' `match-clients` and `match-destinations`, options such as
`allow-query` or `allow-recursion`) and in blocking's client groups, Jarl
also takes a range of addresses: `10.0.10.101-10.0.10.199`,
`2001:db8::100-2001:db8::1ff`, `!10.0.10.150-10.0.10.160`. BIND only
matches addresses and prefixes, so Jarl keeps the range as you wrote it
and writes the fewest prefixes that cover exactly that range to
named.conf, with the range as a comment above them:
```
acl "dhcp" {
// 10.0.10.101-10.0.10.199
10.0.10.101;
10.0.10.102/31;
10.0.10.104/29;
10.0.10.112/28;
10.0.10.128/26;
10.0.10.192/29;
};
```
Nothing outside the range is matched (writing such lists by hand, it is
easy to round to `10.0.10.96/27` and let in more than you meant). Both
ends are full addresses of the same family, and spaces around the dash
are fine. A range takes at most 62 prefixes for IPv4 and 254 for IPv6.
The web UI shows what a range becomes while you type it. A range in the
IPv4-mapped space (`::ffff:0:0/96`) gets a warning: named can see IPv4
clients as such addresses, so it may match IPv4 clients too.
* **Settings** are Jarl's defaults for new zones: name servers, SOA contact
and timers, default TTL, serial policy.
