Description

Is there a way to check if a given string is a valid ip using this library?

For example:

````javascript
const ip = require('ip');
ip.isValid('google.com'); // false
ip.isValid('216.58.194.206'); // true
ip.isValid('2607:f8b0:4005:804::200e'); // true
````

Research direction

Start from the library's public API and existing IP parsing or conversion behavior. Check how IPv4 and IPv6 strings are currently handled, then add the requested validity check and verify that the three examples produce the stated results, including rejecting google.com.
