The multicast code to send a multicast packet via multiple batman-adv unicast packets is not only capable of sending to multiple but also to a single node. Therefore we can safely remove the old, specialized, now redundant multicast-to-single-unicast code. The only functional change of this simplification is that the edge case of allowing a multicast packet with an unsnoopable destination address (224.0.0.0/24 or ff02::1) where only a single node has signaled interest in it via the batman-adv want-all-unsnoopables multicast flag is now transmitted via a batman-adv broadcast instead of a batman-adv unicast packet. Maintaining this edge case feature does not seem worth the extra lines of code and people should just not expect to be able to snoop and optimize such unsnoopable multicast addresses when bridges are involved. While at it also renaming a few items in the batadv_forw_mode enum to prepare for the new batman-adv multicast packet type.
