Description

As per RFD 448:

To avoid centralizing all information through Omicron, we will plumb multicast address advertisement and underlay mechanics through to ddm and mgd accordingly, akin to the implementation work on boundary tunnel routing.

Research direction

Start by reading RFD 448 and the boundary tunnel routing implementation in PR 77. Trace how multicast address advertisement and underlay mechanics should pass through ddm and mgd. Done means the routing stack supports this advertisement path consistently across those components, with the relevant tests updated or added.
