Allocates a new ip from the current subnet. Optional skip parameter
 can be used to skip addresses.

 Will raise StopIteration exception when all addresses have been allocated

 Example:

    ip = IPAddress("10.0.0.0/24")
    ip.allocate
      #=> "10.0.0.1/24"
    ip.allocate
      #=> "10.0.0.2/24"
    ip.allocate(2)
      #=> "10.0.0.5/24"


 Uses an internal @allocator which tracks the state of allocated
 addresses.
Allocates a new ip from the current subnet . Optional skip parameter can be used to skip addresses .
