We may only optimize the multicast packet flow, if an mcast_mode has been activated and if we are a multicast receiver of the same group. Otherwise flood the multicast packet without optimizations.
This allows us to still flood multicast packets of protocols where it is not easily possible for a multicast sender to be a multicast receiver of the same group instead of dropping them (for instance IPv6 NDP).
This commit therefore also makes IPv6 usable again, if the proact_tracking multicast mode has been activated.
