bpo-36384: Leading zeros in IPv4 addresses are no longer tolerated (GH-25099)
Reverts commit e653d4d8e820a7a004ad399530af0135b45db27a and makes parsing even more strict. Like socket.inet_pton() any leading zero is now treated as invalid input. Signed-off-by: Christian Heimes <christian@python.org> Co-authored-by: Ɓukasz Langa <lukasz@langa.pl>

+:mod:`ipaddress` module no longer accepts any leading zeros in IPv4 address
+strings. Leading zeros are ambiguous and interpreted as octal notation by
+some libraries. For example the legacy function :func:`socket.inet_aton`
+treats leading zeros as octal notatation. glibc implementation of modern
+:func:`~socket.inet_pton` does not accept any leading zeros. For a while
+the :mod:`ipaddress` module used to accept ambiguous leading zeros.
