bridge: export knowledge about the presence of IGMP/MLD queriers
With this patch other modules are able to ask the bridge whether an IGMP or MLD querier exists on the according, bridged link layer. Multicast snooping can only be performed if a valid, selected querier exists on a link. Just like the bridge only enables its multicast snooping if a querier exists, e.g. batman-adv too can only activate its multicast snooping in bridged scenarios if a querier is present. For instance this export avoids having to reimplement IGMP/MLD querier message snooping and parsing in e.g. batman-adv, when multicast optimizations for bridged scenarios are added in the future.
