When purging an orig_node we should only decrease counter tracking the
number of nodes without multicast optimizations support if it was
increased through this orig_node before.
A not yet quite initialized orig_node (meaning it did not have its turn
in the mcast-tvlv handler so far) which gets purged would not adhere to
this and will lead to a counter imbalance.
Fixing this by adding a check whether the orig_node is mcast-initalized
before decreasing the counter in the mcast-orig_node-purging routine.

A miscounting of nodes having multicast optimizations enabled can lead
to multicast packet loss in the following scenario:
If the first OGM a node receives from another one has no multicast
optimizations support (no multicast tvlv) then we are missing to
increase the counter. This potentially leads to the wrong assumption
that we could safely use multicast optimizations.
Fixings this by increasing the counter if the initial OGM has the
multicast TVLV unset, too.

With this patch a node sends IPv4 multicast packets to nodes which
have a BATADV_MCAST_WANT_ALL_IPV4 flag set and IPv6 multicast packets
to nodes which have a BATADV_MCAST_WANT_ALL_IPV6 flag set, too.
Why is this needed? There are scenarios involving bridges where
multicast report snooping and multicast TT announcements are not
sufficient, which would lead to packet loss for some nodes otherwise:
MLDv1 and IGMPv1/IGMPv2 have a suppression mechanism
for multicast listener reports. When we have an MLDv1/IGMPv1/IGMPv2
querier behind a bridge then our snooping bridge is potentially not
going to see any reports even though listeners exist because according
to RFC4541 such reports are only forwarded to multicast routers:
-----------------------------------------------------------
---------------
{Querier}---|Snoop. Switch|----{Listener}
---------------
\ ^
-------
| br0 | < ???
-------
\
_-~---~_
_-~/ ~-_
~ batman-adv \-----{Sender}
\~_ cloud ~/
-~~__-__-~_/
I) MLDv1 Query: {Querier} -> flooded
II) MLDv1 Report: {Listener} -> {Querier}
-> br0 cannot detect the {Listener}
=> Packets from {Sender} need to be forwarded to all
detected listeners and MLDv1/IGMPv1/IGMPv2 queriers.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Note that we do not need to explicitly forward to MLDv2/IGMPv3 queriers,
because these protocols have no report suppression: A bridge has no
trouble detecting MLDv2/IGMPv3 listeners.
Even though we do not support bridges yet we need to provide the
according infrastructure already to not break compatibility later.

With this patch a node may additionally perform the dropping or
unicasting behaviour for a link-local IPv4 and link-local-all-nodes
IPv6 multicast packet, too.
The extra counter and BATADV_MCAST_WANT_ALL_UNSNOOPABLES flag is needed
because with a future bridge snooping support integration a node with a
bridge on top of its soft interface is not able to reliably detect its
multicast listeners for IPv4 link-local and the IPv6
link-local-all-nodes addresses anymore (see RFC4541, section 2.1.2.2
and section 3).
Even though this new flag does make "no difference" now, it'll ensure
a seamless integration of multicast bridge support without needing to
break compatibility later.
Also note, that even with multicast bridge support it won't be possible
to optimize 224.0.0.x and ff02::1 towards nodes with bridges, they will
always receive these ranges.

With this patch a multicast packet is not always simply flooded anymore,
the behaviour for the following cases is changed to reduce
unnecessary overhead:
If all nodes within the horizon of a certain node have signalized
multicast listener announcement capability then an IPv6 multicast packet
with a destination of IPv6 link-local scope (excluding ff02::1) coming
from the upstream of this node...
* ...is dropped if there is no according multicast listener in the
translation table,
* ...is forwarded via unicast if there is a single node with interested
multicast listeners
* ...and otherwise still gets flooded.

If the soft interface of a node is not part of a bridge then a node
announces a new multicast TVLV: The existence of this TVLV
signalizes that this node is announcing all of its multicast listeners
via the translation table infrastructure.
