This version relaxes verification of packet counters to avoid MAC failures
on WiFi links that implement powersaving.  Many thanks to Daniel Gröber
for his precious help with identifying the problem.  The new algorithm
fully interoperates with the previous version, and remais just as safe.
It is described in Section 3.1 of

  https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-chroboczek-babel-mac-relaxed-00.html

18 May 2022: babeld-1.12.1

  * Implement separate PC values for unicast and multicast, which avoids
    dropping packets protected by MAC when WiFi powersave is active.
    Thanks to Daniel Gröber.
  * Schedule an interface check just after adding an interface.
    Thanks to Andrew Hoff.
