net: don't accept non-left-contiguous netmasks
A netmask that contains 1-bits after 0-bits (the 1-bits are not contiguous on the left side) is invalid [1] [2]. The code before this PR used to parse and accept such non-left-contiguous netmasks. However, a coming change that will alter `CNetAddr::ip` to have flexible size would make juggling with such netmasks more difficult, thus drop support for those.
