Add the ability for an AP (and associated VLANs) to perform
multicast-to-unicast conversion for ARP, IPv4 and IPv6 frames
(possibly within 802.1Q). If enabled, such frames are to be sent
to each station separately, with the DA replaced by their own
MAC address rather than the group address.
Note that this may break certain expectations of the receiver,
such as the ability to drop unicast IP packets received within
multicast L2 frames, or the ability to not send ICMP destination
unreachable messages for packets received in L2 multicast (which
is required, but the receiver can't tell the difference if this
new option is enabled.)
This also doesn't implement the 802.11 DMS (directed multicast
service).

v8:
- remove superflous check
- change return type to bool
v7:
- avoid recursion
- style and description
v5:
- rename bss->unicast to bss->multicast_to_unicast
- access sdata->bss only after checking iftype
v4:
- rename MULTICAST_TO_UNICAST to MULTICAST_TO_UNICAST
v3: fix compile error for trace.h
v2: add nl80211 toggle
rename tx_dnat to change_da
change int to bool unicast
