feat(ssrf): enhance private IP detection and IPv6 handling (#4191)

# Description of Changes

- Refactored `isPrivateAddress` to improve detection of private and
local addresses for both IPv4 and IPv6.
- Added explicit handling for:
  - IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses
  - IPv6 link-local, site-local, and unique local (fc00::/7) addresses
  - Additional IPv4 private ranges such as link-local (169.254.0.0/16)
- Introduced `normalizeIpv4MappedAddress` to standardize IP checks in
cloud metadata detection.
- Replaced `switch` statement with modern `switch` expression for
cleaner control flow.

These changes were made to strengthen SSRF protection by covering more
address edge cases, especially in mixed IPv4/IPv6 environments.
This also improves detection of cloud metadata endpoints when accessed
via IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses.
