More of the fix for bug #7118 - nmbd problems with socket address.
Add a simple "processed packet queue" cache to stop nmbd responding to packets received on the broadcast and non-broadcast socket (which it has opened when "nmbd bind explicit broadcast = yes"). This is a very simple packet queue - it only keeps the packets processed during a single call to listen_for_packets() (i.e. one select call). This means that if the delivery notification for a packet received on both broadcast and non-broadcast addresses is done in two different select calls, the packet will still be processed twice. This is a very rare occurrance and we can just live with it when it does as the protocol is stateless. If this is ever flagged as a repeatable problem then we can add a longer lived cache, using timeout processing to clear etc. etc. But without storing all packets processed we can never be *sure* we've eliminated the race condition so I'm going to go with this simple solution until someone proves a more complex one is needed :-).
