zigbee: Add Groupcast (Multicast) support
As described, this MR adds support for data groupcasting transmission mode to the Zigbee application support layer (APS).
A groupcast is essentially a multicast transmission in which the destination is all the end devices in a group. This is particularly useful in scenarios where a device needs to send the same data to multiple endpoints simultaneously, such as in lighting control systems or sensor networks.
- Documentation has been extensively updated
- Zigbee concept stack figure was updated
- The NWK required the most changes to support "multicast" route discovery
- Primitives to add and remove groups from devices were added to the APS
- An example was integrated into to zigbee-aps-data.cc to show usage
Question, comments are welcome.
