Refactor some network.c code to create cidr_set_masklen_internal().

Merge several copies of "copy an inet value and adjust the mask length"
code to create a single, conveniently C-callable function.  This function
is exported for future use by inet SPGiST support, but it's good cleanup
anyway since we had three slightly-different-for-no-good-reason copies.

(Extracted from a larger patch, to separate new code from refactoring
of old code)
