socket: add flag to enforce SO_REUSEADDR on UDP sockets
When IPPROTO_UDP is used then SO_REUSEADDR omitted since UDP is connection less we do not have to wait until lingering connections time out. There were also negative effects such as that two applicatications could use the same UDP port, normally one of the two applications would get an error, but with SO_REUSEADDR this is supressed. However, there are applications (UDP MULTICAST) where two applications must be able to use the same port. In the osmocom project those are osmo-bts-virtual, virtphy and gsmtap in general. Lets introduce a flag that the API user can supply in order to have SO_REUSEADDR applied. - Add new flag OSMO_SOCK_F_UDP_REUSEADDR Change-Id: I94aaf6d5224ab23bde5ea5c4a83569b6145ab32b Related: OS#3497
