Cache construction of ipaddress objects

## Design

This module keeps a cache of IPAddress objects and caches the properties on them.

It it useful when you frequently see the same ip addresses over and over and
do not want to pay the overhead of constructing IPAddress objects over and over
or checking their properties.

## Installation

Install this via pip (or your favourite package manager):

`pip install cached-ipaddress`

## Usage

```python
from cached_ipaddress import cached_ip_addresses

ip = cached_ip_addresses("127.0.0.1")
assert ip.is_loopback is True

invalid = cached_ip_addresses("invalid")
assert invalid is None
```
