route.c uses newroute() to handle the "route get" command. The logic
inside newroute() adds RTF_GATEWAY flag if "-interface" flag is not
specified. That results in the inconsistent RTM_GET message with
RTF_GATEWAY set but no RTAX_GATEWAY provided. Address this in the
translation code by checking if the gateway is actually provided.
This change converts all kernel rtsock interactions in route(8)
to Netlink.
Based on the WITHOUT_NETLINK_SUPPORT src.conf(5) variable, route(8)
now fully operates either via Netlink or via rtsock/sysctl.
The default (compile-time) is Netlink.
The output for route delete/add/get/flush is targeted to be exactly
the same (apart from some error handling cases).
The output for the route monitor has been changed to improve
readability and support netlink models.
Other behaviour changes:
* exact prefix lookup (route -n get a.b.c.d/e) is not yet supported.
* route monitor does not show the change originator yet.

SO_RERROR indicates that receive buffer overflows should be handled as
errors. Historically receive buffer overflows have been ignored and
programs could not tell if they missed messages or messages had been
truncated because of overflows. Since programs historically do not
expect to get receive overflow errors, this behavior is not the
default.
This is really really important for programs that use route(4) to keep
in sync with the system. If we loose a message then we need to reload
the full system state, otherwise the behaviour from that point is
undefined and can lead to chasing bogus bug reports.

a route change request that does not specify the gateway, the
gateway will remain the same. This allows changing other route

/sbin/route has a bug where if it is passed an interface name that does
not exist, it falls through and winds up interpreting it as a hostname.
It fails out eventually, but on a system where DNS lookup is broken you
can end up waiting for up to 60 seconds waiting for the DNS lookup to
timeout. I'm not quite sure what happens if the DNS lookup somehow
succeeds but I doubt that can end well.

Initially in_matrote() in_clsroute() in their current state was introduced by
r4105 20 years ago. Instead of deleting inactive routes immediately, we kept them
in route table, setting RTPRF_OURS flag and some expire time. After that, either
GC came or RTPRF_OURS got removed on first-packet. It was a good solution
in that days (and probably another decade after that) to keep TCP metrics.
However, after moving metrics to TCP hostcache in r122922, most of in_rmx
functionality became unused. It might had been used for flushing icmp-originated
routes before rte mutexes/refcounting, but I'm not sure about that.
So it looks like this is nearly impossible to make GC do its work nowadays:
in_rtkill() ignores non-RTPRF_OURS routes.
route can only become RTPRF_OURS after dropping last reference via rtfree()
which calls in_clsroute(), which, it turn, ignores UP and non-RTF_DYNAMIC routes.
Dynamic routes can still be installed via received redirect, but they
have default lifetime (no specific rt_expire) and no one has another trie walker
to call RTFREE() on them.
So, the changelist:
* remove custom rnh_match / rnh_close matching function.
* remove all GC functions
* partially revert r256695 (proto3 is no more used inside kernel,
it is not possible to use rt_expire from user point of view, proto3 support
is not complete)
* Finish r241884 (similar to this commit) and remove remaining IPv6 parts

Since radix has been ignoring sa_family in passed sockaddrs,
no one ever has bothered filling valid sa_family in netmasks.
Additionally, radix adjusts sa_len field in every netmask not to
compare zero bytes at all.
This leads us to rt_mask with sa_family of AF_UNSPEC (-1) and
arbitrary sa_len field (0 for default route, for example).
However, rtsock have been passing that rt_mask intact for ages,
requiring all rtsock consumers to make ther own local hacks.
We even have unfixed on in base:
do `route -n monitor` in one window and issue `route -n get addr`
for some directly-connected address. You will probably see the following:
