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.
