tipc: simplify handling of lookup scope during multicast message reception
We introduce a new macro TIPC_ANY_SCOPE to make the handling of the lookup scope value more comprehensible during multicast reception. The (unchanged) rules go as follows: 1) Multicast messages sent from own node are delivered to all matching sockets on the own node, irrespective of their binding scope. 2) Multicast messages sent from other nodes arrive here because they have found TIPC_CLUSTER_SCOPE bindings emanating from this node. Those messages should be delivered to exactly those sockets, but not to local sockets bound with TIPC_NODE_SCOPE, since the latter obviously were not meant to be visible for those senders. 3) Group multicast/broadcast messages are delivered to the sockets with a binding scope matching exactly the lookup scope indicated in the message header, and nobody else.
