Improve help message to clarify support for IP addresses and CIDR blocks

- Updated the help message for the --allow-ip flag to clearly indicate that both IP addresses and CIDR blocks are supported.
- Provided examples for better understanding.

Update TrustedProxiesMiddleware to support CIDR blocks

- Before: Checked if client IP starts with any of the trusted proxies.
- After: Parses client IP and trusted proxies as CIDR blocks and checks if client IP is within any of the trusted CIDR ranges.
- Added handling for invalid IP addresses and appending /32 if no subnet mask is specified.
