The previous patch added IFA_MC_USERS and emits it for IPv4 multicast
groups. Add the same snapshot attribute to IPv6 RTM_GETMULTICAST
replies and entry-lifecycle notifications, carrying
ifmcaddr6::mca_users.

This makes the multicast rtnetlink ABI symmetric across IPv4 and IPv6
and gives userspace the same user count that /proc/net/igmp6 exposes.
