"""Usage: python3 check_test_ips.py IP|HOSTNAME [...]

Check if the given IPs, or IPs associated with given hostnames, are
routable. Under the assumption that those IPs are local a positive
result means they should be usable for tests.

The script prints the first two (in order of arguments) usable
addresses to sys.stdout. IPv6 addresses in the output are enclosed in
square brackets.

    For loopback this effectively tests if the address is really
