Support binding to multicast and broadcast addresses
This fixes the issue of not being able to bind to either a multicast or broadcast address as well as to send and receive data from it. The way to solve this is to treat these addresses similar to the ANY address and register their transport endpoint ID with the global stack's demuxer rather than the NIC's. That way there is no need to require an endpoint with that multicast or broadcast address. The stack's demuxer is in fact the only correct one to use, because neither broadcast- nor multicast-bound sockets care which NIC a packet was received on (for multicast a join is still needed to receive packets on a NIC). I also took the liberty of refactoring udp_test.go to consolidate a lot of duplicate code and make it easier to create repetitive tests that test the same feature for a variety of packet and socket types. For this purpose I created a "flowType" that represents two things: 1) the type of packet being sent or received and 2) the type of socket used for the test. E.g., a "multicastV4in6" flow represents a V4-mapped multicast packet run through a V6-dual socket. This allows writing significantly simpler tests. A nice example is testTTL().
