[netif] remove multicast promiscuous mode configuration

Since 74c833b was introduced all IPv6
multicast packets are passed to the host. Previously used promiscuous
mode configuration is now unused. This commit removes the dead code and
corresponding elements as there is no use case for them at the moment
(and they can confuse a user).
