Allow route change requests to not specify the gateway.

Only require a gateway to be specified on a route add request.  On
a route change request that does not specify the gateway, the
gateway will remain the same.  This allows changing other route
parameters without having to re-specifying the gateway, like in
"route change 10.0.0.0/8 -mtu 9000".

Update the route(8) manpage to explicitly call out this usage
as being supported.
