Description
There are a handful of methods we have on concrete IP networks for each version, which would be nice to expose as methods on the IpNet enum. For example, Ipv{4,6}Net::first_addr(), last_addr(), first_host() and last_host(). There are probably a few others.

Research direction
Start by locating the IpNet enum and the Ipv4Net and Ipv6Net implementations of first_addr(), last_addr(), first_host(), and last_host(). Compare the concrete network methods to identify other suitable convenience methods, add matching enum methods, and verify parity with the existing tests or add coverage for both IP versions.
