Common: Make IP address-based fields TSV safe

Project: Common Version: any

Since values returned by the IpLookups enrichment may contain any characters, including TAB, it would be beneficial to make IP address-based fields TSV safe.

That's a good catch, @pcode93! Do you know how we can find IP addresses with unsafe data? (Not asking for particular addresses as it might be considered a PII protection violation)

I'm surprised there's no stance against unsafe values as it never manifested itself as a problem. Also, downstream in RDB Shredder we have this escape workaround, but it works with enriched data after it has been parsed.
