The option simplifies multicast streaming, which is now possible without
having to set a multicast route when there is more than one network interface.
This option works unconditionally for UDPv6. For UDPv4 it is only enabled
on hosts that support `struct ip_mreqn', support for which is detected
via configure.
On OSes that do not support this struct, a warning message is printed;
while it is possible to add the same functionality also in those cases,
it would complicate the implementation and thus has been left out.
