ipv4: Allow ipv6 gateway with ipv4 routes
Add support for RTA_VIA and allow an IPv6 nexthop for v4 routes:
$ ip ro add 172.16.1.0/24 via inet6 2001:db8::1 dev eth0
$ ip ro ls
...
172.16.1.0/24 via inet6 2001:db8::1 dev eth0
For convenience and simplicity, userspace can use RTA_VIA to specify
AF_INET or AF_INET6 gateway.
The common fib_nexthop_info dump function compares the gateway address
family to the nh_common family to know if the gateway should be encoded
as RTA_VIA or RTA_GATEWAY.
