This patch fixes the ttl defaults and range none

This patch fixes the ttl defaults and range

This patch fixes the ttl defaults and range

1) both IPv4 and IPv6 mcast should default to ttl=1
2) the range should be 0..255
   0 is valid meaning localhost only (cluster of one)

I have confirmed:
corosync starts up with ttl=0, tt=4 & ttl=255
corosync errors with -1 and 256
Comment 5 Jaroslav Kortus 2011-04-18 14:45:25 UTC 
works as expected:
Default mcast TTL=1 (OK):
05:22:13.206428 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 1, id 0, offset 0, flags [DF], proto UDP (17), length 147)
    10.15.89.15.5404 > 239.192.181.140.5405: UDP, length 119

Default override TTL=44 (OK):
05:38:12.450338 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 44, id 0, offset 0, flags [DF], proto UDP (17), length 147)
    10.15.89.15.5404 > 239.192.181.140.5405: UDP, length 119

Failure when TTL set to udpu (OK):
Apr 18 05:42:04 z4 corosync[29781]:   [MAIN  ] parse error in config: Can only set ttl on multicast transport types

udpu TTL=64 (default) (OK):
05:43:33.090016 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 0, offset 0, flags [DF], proto UDP (17), length 147)
    10.15.89.15.37226 > 10.15.89.17.5405: UDP, length 119

udpu IPv6 default TTL (OK):
09:02:40.795006 IP6 (hlim 64, next-header UDP (17) payload length: 127) fec0:0:a0e:5900:221:5eff:fe6f:6cc7.38318 > fec0:0:a0e:5900:222:19ff:fe02:ada8.5405: [udp sum ok] UDP, length 119

IPv6 override TTL=44 (OK):

IPv6 default TTL (OK):
09:05:27.510154 IP6 (hlim 1, next-header UDP (17) payload length: 127) fec0:0:a0e:5900:221:5eff:fe6f:6cc7.5404 > ff15::b5d6.5405: [udp sum ok] UDP, length 119
