ICMP sockets do not allow multicasting or broadcasting

[puradox]

Creation of the first packetimpact test for ICMP sockets have uncovered a discrepancy with Linux. ICMP sockets on gVisor do not allow sending to multicast or broadcast addresses, whereas this is supported on Linux.

Note: This issue is for sending to multicast/broadcast, not binding to. ICMP sockets on Linux do not support binding to multicast or broadcast addresses.

The packetimpact failures shows we are unable to send to multicast/broadcast when bound:

Additionally, when unbound, the destination IPv4 address is not correctly set to multicast/broadcast.

This issue tracks the implementation of sending to multicast and broadcast addresses with ICMP sockets.
