Subject: [PATCH] [mpl] reset seed entry lifetime on rx/tx (#8482)

This commit updates `Mpl::UpdateSeedSet()` to reset the `SeedEntry`
lifetime to `kSeedEntryLifetime` if we rx/tx a message with same
ID and sequence. This ensures that the entry is kept in the array
while other routers are forwarding the same message.
