[ipv4] Allow IPv4 socket addresses to include a scope ID
Extend the IPv6 concept of "scope ID" (indicating the network device
index) to IPv4 socket addresses, so that IPv4 multicast transmissions
may specify the transmitting network device.
The scope ID is not (currently) exposed via the string representation
of the socket address, since IPv4 does not use the IPv6 concept of
link-local addresses (which could legitimately be specified in a URI).
