Subject: [PATCHv2 net-next] IPv4: add extack info for IPv4 address add/delete

Add extack info for IPv4 address add/delete, which would be useful for
users to understand the problem without having to read kernel code.

No extack message for the ifa_local checking in __inet_insert_ifa() as
it has been checked in find_matching_ifa().

v2: Lowercase all ipv4 prefix. use one extack msg for ifa_valid checking.
