WARNING: The following patches were only compile-time tested
- you've been warned ;).

The last round of multicast patches to add support for the multicast
optimizations in bridged scenarios, too, unfortunately had one major
conceptual flaw: It could lead to packet loss. It's not sufficient
to have the unicasting of reports implemented on bridge-nodes only.
Nodes without bridges need to treat reports the same way.

The issue is described in detail here:

https://www.open-mesh.org/projects/batman-adv/wiki/Multicast-optimizations-listener-reports


These patches are one suggestion to tackle this issue (alternatives
can be found on the wikipage, too). Let me know what you think about
this approach.

Cheers, Linus
