Currently the method `ipaddress.is_global` returns true for the IPv4 address 192.0.0.8. This was correct when `is_global` was initially implemented, but in 2015 192.0.0.8 got designated as the "IPv4 dummy address" and not globally reachable, see the IANA special purpose address registry: https://www.iana.org/assignments/iana-ipv4-special-registry/iana-ipv4-special-registry.xhtml.

The correct behaviour now, according to the documentation of `is_global` which refers to the IANA registry, would be to return false for 192.0.0.8.
