As was suggested this patch adds support for the different versions of MLD
and IGMP query types. Since the user visible structure is still in net-next
we can augment it instead of adding netlink attributes.
The distinction between the different IGMP/MLD query types is done as
suggested in Section 7.1, RFC 3376 [1] and Section 8.1, RFC 3810 [2] based
on query payload size and code for IGMP. Since all IGMP packets go through
multicast_rcv() and it uses ip_mc_check_igmp/ipv6_mc_check_mld we can be
sure that at least the ip/ipv6 header can be directly used.
