[U-Boot] [RFC PATCH v2 3/5] lib/net_utils.c: make string_to_ip stricter

From: Chris Packham <chris.packham@alliedtelesis.co.nz>

Previously values greater than 255 were implicitly truncated. Add some
stricter checking to reject addresses with components >255.

With the input "1234192.168.1.1" the old behaviour would truncate the
address to 192.168.1.1. New behaviour rejects the string outright and
returns 0, which for the purposes of IP addresses can be considered an
error.
