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.
