ipv4: add option to drop unicast encapsulated in L2 multicast

In order to solve a problem with 802.11, the so-called hole-196 attack,
add an option (sysctl) called "drop_unicast_in_l2_multicast" which, if
enabled, causes the stack to drop IPv4 unicast packets encapsulated in
link-layer multi- or broadcast frames. Such frames can (as an attack)
be created by any member of the same wireless network and transmitted
as valid encrypted frames since the symmetric key for broadcast frames
is shared between all stations.

Additionally, enabling this option provides compliance with a SHOULD
clause of RFC 1122.

drop_unicast_in_l2_multicast - BOOLEAN
Drop any unicast IP packets that are received in link-layer
multicast (or broadcast) frames.
This behavior (for multicast) is actually a SHOULD in RFC
1122, but is disabled by default for compatibility reasons.
Default: off (0)
tag - INTEGER
Allows you to write a number, which can be used as required.
Default value is 0.
