/// # Algorithm
///
/// 1. Normalize: map IPv4 addresses to IPv4-mapped IPv6 (`::ffff:a.b.c.d`)
/// when the other address is IPv6, so mixed pairs use a common format.
/// 2. Mask to subnet: IPv4 → /24 (zero last octet), IPv6 → /48 (zero last 10 bytes).
/// 3. If both masked addresses are identical (same subnet), fall back to the
/// original unmasked addresses for greater differentiation.
/// 4. Order the two addresses numerically (smaller first).
/// 5. Concatenate into a stack-allocated buffer and compute CRC32C.
