It's all was about allowed list. Denied list is not supposed to be
supported on database level. What a sense in disallowing _particular
user_ to login from specific set of IP addresses? Denied list should be
done at firewall level.
But this is really a problem - what to do if coteries list is empty? For
backward compatibility it's necessary to enable connection from any IP
in that case. Or force additon of 0.0.0.0/0 by default. Or it may be
controlled by configuration parameter - DenyAccessWithEmpyCoteriesList.
