We have IsPublicAddr and IsPrivateAddr. It would be useful to have IsUnroutableAddr.

see: libp2p/go-libp2p#2703

Unroutable is not a good idea. Current unroutable definition is a bit incorrect too as it considers localhost, link local etc addresses as "routable" and all multicast as "unroutable". It should ideally be reachable / diallable or valid possibly. However the changes I need are in #235. So I'm closing this.
