Documents new D&R operators for version-specific IP address classification: - is public ipv4 address - is public ipv6 address - is private ipv4 address - is private ipv6 address Updates existing operator documentation: - is private address: Added CGNAT (RFC 6598) and IPv6 ULA (RFC 4193) - is public address: Added comprehensive IPv6 support, corrected multicast handling, added CGNAT exclusion All address ranges now include RFC references for clarity. BREAKING CHANGE: Documentation now correctly states that multicast addresses (224.0.0.0/4, ff00::/8) are NOT considered public. Previous documentation incorrectly stated they were public.
