So far Multicast Router Advertisements and Multicast Router Solicitations from the Multicast Router Discovery protocol (RFC4286) would be marked as INVALID for IPv6, even if they are in fact intact and adhering to RFC4286. This broke MRA reception and by that multicast reception on IPv6 multicast routers in a Proxmox managed setup, where Proxmox would install a rule like "-m conntrack --ctstate INVALID -j DROP" at the top of the FORWARD chain with br-nf-call-ip6tables enabled by default. Similar to as it's done for MLDv1, MLDv2 and IPv6 Neighbor Discovery already, fix this issue by excluding MRD from connection tracking handling as MRD always uses predefined multicast destinations for its messages, too. This changes the ct-state for ICMPv6 MRD messages from INVALID to UNTRACKED. This issue was found and fixed with the help of the mrdisc tool (https://github.com/troglobit/mrdisc).
