Multicast coming through from the switch zone heads back through the service port (with a sidecar header), but it only goes through Services when it's an IPv6 link-local destined packet.

Other multicast traffic went through to mcast ingress with the sidecar header still attached, which meant that replicas (and NAT'd encaps) would be forwarded, malformed for downstream receivers.

Ry's review on oxidecomputer/sidecar-lite#181 drove this work, which now matches sidecar-lite's decap_sidecar().
