The `reuse` property end up setting the SO_REUSEADDR socket option for
the UDP socket. This setting have surprising effects.
On Linux systems the man page (`socket(7)`) states:
```
SO_REUSEADDR
Indicates that the rules used in validating addresses supplied
in a bind(2) call should allow reuse of local addresses. For
AF_INET sockets this means that a socket may bind, except when
there is an active listening socket bound to the address.
```
But since UDP does not listen this ends up meaning that when an
ephemeral port is allocated (setting the `port` to `0`) the kernel is
free to reuse any other UDP port that has `SO_REUSEADDR` set.
Tests checking the likelyhood of port conflict when using multiple
`udpsrc` shows port conflicts starting to occur after ~100-300 udpsrc
with port allocation enabled. See issue #3411 for more details.
Changing the default value of a property is not a small thing we risk
breaking application that rely on the current default value. But since
the effects of having `reuse` default `TRUE` on can also have damaging
and hard-to-debug consequences, it might be worth to consider.
Having `SO_REUSEADDR` enabled for multicast, might have some use cases
but for unicast, with dynamic port allocation, it does not make sense.
When not using an multicast address we will disable port reuse if the
`port` property is set to 0 (=allocate) and warn the user that we did
so.

Deserialize socket control messages as GstSocketTimestampMessage only
if (level, type) is (SOL_SOCKET, SCM_TIMESTAMPNS).
Without this patch, messages with types SCM_RIGHTS or SCM_CREDENTIALS
could be deserialized as GstSocketTimestampMessage instead of
GUnixFDMessage or GUnixCredentialsMessage from gio.
Fixes#1736
Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/merge_requests/3777>
When the sink is configured to create sockets with an explicit bind
address, then the created socket gets set to the udp_socket field
irregardless of whether the bind address indicated that the socket
family should be IPv4 or IPv6. When binding to an IPv6 address, this
results in the following error:
gstmultiudpsink.c:1285:gst_multiudpsink_configure_client:<rtcpsink>
error: Invalid address family (got 10)
This patch adds a check of the address family being bound to and sets
the created socket to used_socket or used_socket_v6, accordingly.
