Added ipa_class_mask() which guesses netmask for classful addressing.

For pure A/B/C class addresses it just returns the class netmask, for
subnets it tries to guess subnet mask. Please make sure the address
you pass to this function is really a valid host address (i.e., call
ipa_validate() first).
