[issue37749] ipaddress - is_global method all multicast addresses and networks return true

New submission from Brandon James : When using the ipaddress library, all multicast addresses and networks return True when using the is_global method for their respective classes. I believe their are two possible fixes for this. 1) In practice no multicast addresses are globally routable.
