net, libs: Refactor random ip address helpers

Return CIDR strings directly from the low-level helpers.
Callers that need a plain IP strip the prefix
with .split("/")[0]; callers that need a non-standard mask
strip and reapply it.

Remove random_ip_addresses_by_family — it became identical to
random_cidr_addresses_by_family after this change.
