'textsec--ipvx-address-p' current implementation is not perfect.
It returns a wrong result when some octet is greater than 255.

(textsec--ipvx-address-p "343.1.2.3")
0

(ffap-ipv4-p "343.1.2.3")
nil

So IMO it's not as useful for my purposes, reports from network 
tools.

IPv6 could be added later.
