Treat IPv4 subnet masks as distinct from addresses
While IPv4 subnet masks are obviously related and similar to IPv4
addresses, they are distinct enough that they need to be treated
seperately in some aspects. For instance, there is no value in
attempting to resolve a subnet mask.
This change creates a new display type: BASE_NETMASK, which allows distinction from FT_IPv4
(and possible name resolution) where appropriate.
