Description

**Why?**

If a token or HMAC key is leaked, it can only be used from specified IP addresses(Enhanced Security).
Requests from unknown IPs will be rejected(Prevents Unauthorized Access).
Many financial and payment services use this method(Industry Standard for Sensitive APIs).

**Demo:**

1. Store `allowed_ips` in the **extra** field (as JSON) or add a dedicated `allowed_ips` column to **auth_identities**
2. Store allowed IPs when generating a token
3. Validate IP when using a token
4. Allow enabling/disabling this feature in **Config/AuthToken.php**
5. Support for multi IPs
