Subject: [RFC v2 14/19] batman-adv: Add multicast_mode mesh genl configuration

The mesh interface can optimize the flooding of multicast packets based on
the content of the global translation tables.

The BATADV_CMD_SET_MESH/BATADV_CMD_GET_MESH commands allow to set/get the
configuration of this feature using the BATADV_ATTR_MULTICAST_MODE
attribute. Setting the u8 to zero will disable this feature and setting it
to something else is enabling this feature.
