No functional changes.
Most of the routing flags are stored in the netxtop instead of rtentry.
Rename rt->rt_flags to rt->rte_flags to simplify reading/modifying code
checking routing flags.
In the new multipath code, rt->rt_nhop may actually point to nexthop group
instead of nhop. To ease transition, reduce the amount of rt->rt_nhop->...
accesses.

The main driver for the change is the need to improve notification mechanism.
Currently callers guess the operation data based on the rtentry structure
returned in case of successful operation result. There are two problems with
this appoach. First is that it doesn't provide enough information for the
upcoming multipath changes, where rtentry refers to a new nexthop group,
and there is no way of guessing which paths were added during the change.
Second is that some rtentry fields can change during notification and
protecting from it by requiring customers to unlock rtentry is not desired.
Additionally, as the consumers such as rtsock do know which operation they
request in advance, making explicit add/change/del versions of the functions
makes sense, especially given the functions don't share a lot of code.
With that in mind, introduce rib_cmd_info notification structure and
rib_<add|del|change>_route() functions, with mandatory rib_cmd_info pointer.
It will be used in upcoming generalized notifications.
* Move definitions of the new functions and some other functions/structures
used for the routing table manipulation to a separate header file,
net/route/route_ctl.h. net/route.h is a frequently used file included in
~140 places in kernel, and 90% of the users don't need these definitions.

Currently each rtentry has dst&gateway allocated separately from another zone,
bloating cache accesses.
Current 'struct rtentry' has 12 "mandatory" radix pointers in the beginning,
leaving 4 usable pointers/32 bytes in the first 2 cache lines (amd64).
Fields needed for the datapath are destination sockaddr and rt_nhop.
So far it doesn't look like there is other routable addressing protocol other
than IPv4/IPv6/MPLS, which uses keys longer than 20 bytes.
With that in mind, embed dst into struct rtentry, making the first 24 bytes
of rtentry within 128 bytes. That is enough to make IPv6 address within first
128 bytes.
It is still pretty easy to add code for supporting separately-allocated dst,
however it doesn't make a lot of sense in having such code without a use case.
As rS359823 moved the gateway to the nexthop structure, the dst embedding change
removes the need for any additional allocations done by rt_setgate().
Lastly, as a part of cleanup, remove counter(9) allocation code, as this field
is not used in packet processing anymore.

Eliminate the last rtalloc1() call to finish transition to the new routing
KPI defined in r359823.

Continue routing subsystem conversion to nhop objects defined in r359823.
Use fields from nhop structure instead of "struct rtentry" fields.
This is one of the last changes prior to removing rt_ifp, rt_ifa,
rt_gateway and rt_mtu from struct rtentry.

Currently functionality resides in rtsock.c, which is a controlling
interface, partially external to the routing subsystem.
Additionally, DDB-supporting functionality is > 100SLOC, which deserves
a separate file.
Given that, move this functionality to a newly-created net/route/ subdir.
