Anonymizing version number #1

Description

@antenore

I was anonymizing an IBM WebSphere log file when I realized that all the version numbers, were anonymized.

Unlucky, in IBM we use 4 numbers separated by a dot, in the version number, like 8.5.1.2, that is really like an IP address.

Till now I didn't find a smarter solution than writing a specific rule (in a YAML file) for the IPs.

But I was thinking that maybe, in any case, it's better to remove completely the -4 and -6 option and provide a specific ip.rules as example.

BTW, thanks so much to have shared to piece of brilliant code!!! You saved my journey this Monday!!!
I hope I'll have the opportunity to give back something to you.

BTW BTW, as it doesn't exist the verb to anonymize (it seems at least) you could "coin" it ;-)
