Introduce the ability to add remote IP addresses to an existing UDP
bearer. On the kernel side, adding a "remoteip" to an existing bearer
puts the bearer in "replicast" mode where TIPC multicast messages are
send out to each configured remoteip using unicast. This is required
for TIPC UDP bearers to work in environments where IP multicast is
disabled.

Introduce a generic function (nl_add_bearer_name()) that identifies a
bearer and adds it to an existing netlink message. This reduces code
complexity and makes the code a little bit easier to maintain.

tipc is a user-space configuration tool for TIPC (Transparent
Inter-process Communication). It utilizes the TIPC netlink API in the
kernel to fetch data or perform actions.
The tipc tool has somewhat similar syntax to the ip tool meaning that
users of the ip tool should not feel that unfamiliar with this tool.
