This allows configuring the TTL that is used for multicast packets sent
out on the sockets, and is defaulting to 1 as before. The default might
change at some point.
In some networks multiple hops are needed to reach the PTP clock and
this allows to configure GStreamer in a way that works in such networks.
At a later time, per-domain or per-interface TTL configurations might be
added when needed.

This works on Linux, Android, Windows, macOS, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD,
DragonFlyBSD, Solaris and Illumos.
Newly supported compared to the C version is Windows.
Compared to the C version various error paths are handled more correctly
and a couple of memory leaks are fixed. Otherwise it should work identically.
The minimum required Rust version for compiling this is 1.48, i.e. the
version currently in Debian stable. On Windows, Rust 1.54 is needed at
least.
