Update the comment for ip_is_reserved(). An old comment (ca 2001, r1152)

Browse Source 
says that the function could be outdated if IANA keeps assigning IP ranges,
but I update this function many times per year (usually consisting of more
than one IP block per update).  So in case I somehow slack on my unofficial
job of updating this function, I note that it needs frequent attention.

* We try to optimize speed when ordering the tests. This optimization

* Warning: This function could easily become outdated if the IANA
* starts to assign some more IPv4 ranges to RIPE, etc. as they have
* started doing this year (2001), for example 80.0.0.0/4 used to be
* completely unassigned until they gave 80.0.0.0/7 to RIPE in April
* 2001 (www.junk.org is an example of a new address in this range).
* Warning: This function needs frequent attention because IANA has been
* allocating address blocks many times per year (although it's questionable
* how much longer this trend can be kept up).

* Check <http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv4-address-space> for
