Change the way protocol multicast addresses are linked to an interface.
Instead of linking multicast records to the first configured address of the corresponding protocol, making this address and its position in the global list special, add them to a new list directly linked to the interface descriptor. This new multicast address list is similar to the address list, all its elements contain a protocol agnostic part. This design allows us to be able to join a multicast group without necessarily having a configured address. That means IPv6 multicast kludges are no longer needed. Another benefit is to be able to add and remove an IP address from an interface without worrying about multicast records. That means that the global IPv4 list is no longer needed since the first configured address of an interface is no longer special. This new list might also be extended in the future to contain the link-layer addresses used to configure hardware filters. Tested by sthen@ and weerd@, ok mikeb@
