Description
We should consider moving to oxnet for our core address types like IPs. We need some improvements to oxnet, like making it no_std before we do that, but it would help with a lot of confusion and conversions we're doing at the API boundary with Omicron.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the current core address types and the API boundary with Omicron, then inspect oxnet's no_std support. The issue does not name files or tests; completion would require the needed oxnet improvements and a decided migration path for the address types.
