We add a new broadcast link transmit function in bclink.c and a new receive function in socket.c. The purpose is to move the branching between external and internal destination down to the link layer, just as we have done with unicast in earlier commits. We also make use of the new link-independent fragmentation support that was introduced in an earlier commit series. This gives a shorter and simpler code path, and makes it possible to obtain copy-free buffer delivery to all node local destination sockets. The new transmission code is added in parallel with the existing one, and will be used by the socket multicast send function in the next commit in this series.
