tipc: introduce replicast as transport option for multicast
TIPC multicast messages are currently carried over a reliable
'broadcast link', making use of the underlying media's ability to
transport packets as L2 broadcast or IP multicast to all nodes in
the cluster.
When the used bearer is lacking that ability, we can instead emulate
the broadcast service by replicating and sending the packets over as
many unicast links as needed to reach all identified destinations.
We now introduce a new TIPC link-level 'replicast' service that does
this.
