IPv4 pool handling needs lots of extra code to deal with "topology net30",
so we want to remove that combination in a future release.

Warn people about this in 2.5 so nobody is hit by this as a surprise.

Client- and ifconfig-support for net30 will stay, as "just net30" is not
what brings maintenance effort here (totally removing all options except
"topology subnet" would be beneficial but is a bit too radical today)

Trac: #1288
