All things related to multicast

Abilene isn't running embedded-RP code yet, but will be fairly soon.
we static to v6 RPs as follows:

                address 2001:468::1 {
                    group-ranges {
                        ff05::/16;
                    }
                }
                address 2001:660:3007:300:1:: {
                    group-ranges {
                        ff0e::/16;
                        ff1e::/16;
                    }
                }
                address 2001:700:e000:501::2 {
                    group-ranges {
                        ff3e:30:2001:700::/64;
                    }
                }

I expect the 2nd one (in Renater) will be the one of interest, though
the 3rd one is in uninett.
