The __hash__() methods of ipaddress.IPv4Interface and
ipaddress.IPv6Interface incorrectly generated constant hash values of 32 and
128 respectively. This resulted in always causing hash collisions. The fix
uses hash() to generate hash values for the tuple of (address, mask length,
network address).

The ``_ast`` module uses again a global state. Using a module state per

initialized ``_ast`` module.
