IP Dictionary Supports IPv4 and IPv6 Types

IP Dictionary supports IPv4 / IPv6 types directly. #17571 (vdimir).
The IP Dictionary in ClickHouse now natively supports both IPv4 and IPv6 address types.

Why it matters

This feature allows users to handle IP address data more efficiently and accurately by supporting both IPv4 and IPv6 formats directly in dictionary sources. It simplifies IP address lookups and integrations without requiring additional conversions or workarounds.

How to use it

Users can define IP Dictionaries that include columns with IPv4 or IPv6 types. When creating or updating dictionaries, specify these types directly in the dictionary source configuration to leverage native IP type support.
