IPv6 over Ethernet should join the solicited-node multicast
addresses required by the configured IPv6 addresses, as neighbor
solicitations for these addresses have the solicited-node multicast
address as destination address.

This commit automatically leaves old solicited-node multicast addresses
and joins the new set when the IP addresses on the interface are
updated.

One effect of this pr is that an ethernet-based interface wants to send out multicast reports as soon as an IPv6 address is configured. Not sure if there's strong opinions on that.
According to rfc 6775 § 5.2 joining the solicited-node multicast address is not required on IEEE 802.15.4.
