ifconfig: Add an allmulti verb

Description

ifconfig: Add an allmulti verb

Similar to "promisc", this allows the IFF_ALLMULTI flag to be toggled
from userspace if it happens to be useful to disable multicast packet
filtering. One use-case is when implementing IPv6 neighbour discovery
over netmap.
