Option to use UDP multicast to/from containers

As reported by many sources multicast is not supported in Docker networks so the only possible solution to deal with multicast is to use the host network.
With multicast support in the Remote Input plugin of SDRangel it becomes desirable to be able to send I/Q data with the Remote Sink to a multicast group. This makes possible to have one container connected to the receiver serving I/Q to multiple SDRangel (GUI or server) clients. Pretty cool! Alas it will not work presently since the containers use a Docker network.
However nice it is this should be made as an option since it may not be desirable to use the host network in all use cases.

Implemented and effective with v5.9.3 and v4.15.3 SDRangel images.
