[FEATURE] Provide way to determine client IP address

This adds a method getClientIpAddress() to the HTTP Request
class. It considers various kinds of environment variables
which are present when using proxies or certain server setups
for determining the actual client IP address.

[BUGFIX] Fix IP address validation

The IP address validation done with filter_var() worked
on the development machine running PHP 5.3.12, however,
it failed on the integration server running PHP 5.3.5.
Apparently, the filter_var options for FILTER_VALIDATE_IP
behave differently in these versions.

This patch removes the validation for IPv4 / IPv6 addresses
because they didn't make sense anyway.

In that regard: hooray for PHP behavior changes. They actually
exploit bad application code. Sometimes.
