If the bearer carrying multicast messages supports broadcast, those
messages will be sent to all cluster nodes, irrespective of whether
these nodes host any actual destinations socket or not. This is clearly
wasteful if the cluster is large and there are only a few real
destinations for the message being sent.
In this commit we extend the eligibility of the newly introduced
"replicast" transmit option. We now make it possible for a user to
select which method he wants to be used, either as a mandatory setting
via setsockopt(), or as a relative setting where we let the broadcast
layer decide which method to use based on the ratio between cluster
size and the message's actual number of destination nodes.
In the latter case, a sending socket must stick to a previously
selected method until it enters an idle period of at least 5 seconds.
This eliminates the risk of message reordering caused by method change,
i.e., when changes to cluster size or number of destinations would
otherwise mandate a new method to be used.

In this commit, we introduce defines for tipc address size,
offset and mask specification for Zone.Cluster.Node.
There is no functional change in this commit.

We add a new ioctl for AF_TIPC that can be used to fetch the
logical name for a link to a remote node on a given bearer. This
should be used in combination with link state subscriptions.
The logical name size limit definitions are moved to tipc.h, as
they are now also needed by the new ioctl.

When links are established over a bearer plane, we create a node
local publication containing information about the peer node and
bearer plane. This allows TIPC applications to use the standard
TIPC topology server subscription mechanism to get notifications
when a link goes up or down.
