batman-adv: mcast: implement multicast packet reception and forwarding
Implement functionality to receive and forward a new TVLV capable multicast packet type. The new batman-adv multicast packet type allows to contain several originator destination addresses within a TVLV. Routers on the way will potentially split the batman-adv multicast packet and adjust its tracker TVLV contents. Routing decisions are still based on the selected BATMAN IV or BATMAN V routing algorithm. So this new batman-adv multicast packet type retains the same loop-free properties. Also a new OGM multicast TVLV flag is introduced to signal to other nodes that we are capable of handling a batman-adv multicast packet and multicast tracker TVLV. And that all of our hard interfaces have an MTU of at least 1280 bytes (IPv6 minimum MTU), as a simple solution for now to avoid MTU issues while forwarding.
