/**
 * \brief Multicast routing table init routine
 *
 *        Multicast routing tables are not necessarily required by all
 *        multicast engines. For instance, trickle multicast does not rely on
 *        the existence of a routing table. Therefore, this function here
 *        should be invoked by each engine's init routine only if the relevant
 *        functionality is required. This is also why this function should not
 *        get hooked into the uip-ds6 core.
