KoenigMjr 0b9387af08 [feat/multicast]: add multi-instance multicast module with active trigger system
Introduce a robust multicast processing module for POCSAG that correlates
empty tone-RICs (recipients) with subsequent text-RICs (content).

Key Features:
- Four Output Modes: Internally supports 'complete', 'incomplete', 'single',
  and 'control'. Functional alarms are delivered as the first three, while
  technical 'control' packets (Delimiters/NetIdent) are filtered by default.
- Active Trigger System: Implements a loss-free deferred delivery mechanism
  using a loopback socket (TCP) to re-inject wakeup packets, flushing the
  internal queue during auto-clear timeouts.
- Shared State & Multi-Instance: State is shared across instances but
  separated by frequency to prevent crosstalk in multi-frequency setups.
- Data Aggregation: Automatically generates '{FIELD}_list' wildcards (e.g.,
  RIC_LIST, DESCRIPTION_LIST) for all collected recipients, enabling
  consolidated notifications in downstream plugins.
- Dynamic Filtering: Automatically blocks Delimiter and NetIdent RICs from
  reaching subsequent plugins if they are defined in the configuration.

Infrastructural Changes:
- ModuleBase: Expanded return semantics to support:
  * False: Explicitly blocks/drops a packet.
  * List: Allows a module to expand one input into multiple output packets.
- PluginBase: Updated to handle lists of packets, ensuring a full
  setup->alarm->teardown lifecycle for every individual element.
