This PR enhances the existing IP address functionality by adding comprehensive IPv6 examples and documentation to demonstrate the full range of supported address formats.

What's Changed

Enhanced Documentation

  • Added dedicated "IP Address Support" section explaining both IPv4 and IPv6 capabilities
  • Organized usage examples by protocol with clear IPv4 and IPv6 sections
  • Added 6 comprehensive IPv6 examples covering all major address formats:
    • Compressed notation (::1, 2001:db8::1)
    • Full notation (2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334)
    • Link-local addresses (fe80::1234:5678:abcd:ef01)
    • IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses (::ffff:192.168.1.1)
    • Zone identifiers (fe80::1%eth0)

Improved User Experience

  • Enhanced command-line usage message with detailed help text and IPv6 examples
  • Added interactive demonstration script (examples/ipv6_demonstration.py) for hands-on validation
  • Clear explanations of when and how to use different IPv6 address formats

Code Quality

  • All changes maintain backward compatibility
  • Code passes linting and formatting checks
  • Comprehensive validation of all documented examples

Example Usage

The tool now clearly documents support for various IPv6 formats:

# IPv6 localhost
poetry run python -m rew2streammagic.main example_data/default.txt ::1

# IPv6 global unicast address
poetry run python -m rew2streammagic.main example_data/peaking.txt 2001:db8::1

# IPv6 with zone identifier
poetry run python -m rew2streammagic.main example_data/filter_types.txt fe80::1%eth0

Run the demonstration script to see all supported formats:

python3 examples/ipv6_demonstration.py

This improvement provides users with clear, comprehensive guidance on using IPv6 addresses with StreamMagic devices, making the feature more accessible and easier to understand.

This pull request was created as a result of the following prompt from Copilot chat.

Improve the existing pull request by adding IPv6 examples to demonstrate the new IP address argument functionality.
