Allow the creation of nexthop groups which reference other nexthop
objects to create multipath routes:
+--------------+
+------------+ +--------------+ |
| nh nh_grp --->| nh_grp_entry |-+
+------------+ +---------|----+
^ | | +------------+
+----------------+ +--->| nh, weight |
nh_parent +------------+
A group entry points to a nexthop with a weight for that hop within the
group. The nexthop has a list_head, grp_list, for tracking which groups
it is a member of and the group entry has a reference back to the parent.
The grp_list is used when a nexthop is deleted - to efficiently remove
it from groups using it.
If a nexthop group spec is given, no other attributes can be set. Each
nexthop id in a group spec must already exist.
Similar to single nexthops, the specification of a nexthop group can be
updated so that data is managed with rcu locking.
Add path selection function to account for multiple paths and add
ipv{4,6}_good_nh helpers to know that if a neighbor entry exists it is
in a good state.
Update NETDEV event handling to rebalance multipath nexthop groups if
a nexthop is deleted due to a link event (down or unregister).
When a nexthop is removed any groups using it are updated. Groups using a
nexthop a tracked via a grp_list.
Nexthop dumps can be limited to groups only by adding NHA_GROUPS to the
request.

Add support for NHA_ENCAP and NHA_ENCAP_TYPE. Leverages the existing code
for lwtunnel within fib_nh_common, so the only change needed is handling
the attributes in the nexthop code.

Handle IPv6 gateway in a nexthop spec. If nh_family is set to AF_INET6,
NHA_GATEWAY is expected to be an IPv6 address. Add ipv6 option to gw in
nh_config to hold the address, add fib6_nh to nh_info to leverage the
ipv6 initialization and cleanup code. Update nh_fill_node to dump the v6
address.

Add support for IPv4 nexthops. If nh_family is set to AF_INET, then
NHA_GATEWAY is expected to be an IPv4 address.
Register for netdev events to be notified of admin up/down changes as
well as deletes. A hash table is used to track nexthop per devices to
quickly convert device events to the affected nexthops.

Barebones start point for nexthops. Implementation for RTM commands,
notifications, management of rbtree for holding nexthops by id, and
kernel side data structures for nexthops and nexthop config.
Nexthops are maintained in an rbtree sorted by id. Similar to routes,
nexthops are configured per namespace using netns_nexthop struct added
to struct net.
Nexthop notifications are sent when a nexthop is added or deleted,
but NOT if the delete is due to a device event or network namespace
teardown (which also involves device events). Applications are
expected to use the device down event to flush nexthops and any
routes used by the nexthops.
