gluon-ebtables-filter-multicast: drop icmpv6 type 128 & 139, drop icmp

in a layer 2 mesh network, multicast pings cause a lot of traffic in the
network, significantly increasing the 'backgroudn noise' (= Grundrauschen)
and stressing nodes in the network.

this commit blacklists all icmpv4 multicast traffic as well as multicast
icmpv6 echo-requests and node iformation queries. as no application
depending on these types of multicast traffic is known, blacklisting is safe.
