Multi-instance PIM

A multicast router running multiple instances maintains an independent set of PIM neighbor table,
multicast routing table, BSR information and RP-set information for each instance.
After receiving a multicast data packet, the multicast router determines the instance the data packet
belongs to, and then forwards the packet as per the multicast routing table of that instance or creates a
multicast routing table entry for that instance.
