Description

### What's needed and why?

Hi,

I would like BunkerWeb to support banning IP ranges / subnets (for example 192.168.1.0/24) in the same way it already supports them for whitelist and blacklist rules.

At the moment, banning through the UI appears to work only IP by IP. There are cases where I want to temporarily ban an entire subnet or IP range through the UI, rather than adding many individual IP bans one by one.

### Implementations ideas (optional)

It should be possible to add a ban for:
- a single IP, as today,
- a CIDR subnet such as `192.168.1.0/24`,
- possibly other supported range formats (`192.168.1.10-100` for example).

Research direction

Start by tracing the UI ban flow and compare it with the existing whitelist and blacklist handling for IP ranges or subnets. Confirm where bans are validated and persisted, then verify that single IPs and CIDR subnets work through the UI; support for other range formats should be resolved from the existing project behavior.
