mcast-snooping: Add Multicast Listener Discovery support
Add support for MLDv1 and MLDv2. The behavior is not that different from
IGMP. Packets to all-hosts address and queries are always flooded,
reports go to routers, routers are added when a query is observed, and
all MLD packets go through slow path.
