netstat: make netstat -rn use netlink instead of rtsock

[melifaro]

Summary

This review switches route listing in netstat to netlink, with fallback to rtsock.

The outputs are mostly identical, with an exception of not showing kernel nexthop indexes for multipath routes.

Test Plan

would be nice if snl_init could have the protol in argument, for example I want to use this with NETLINK_GENERIC

[melifaro]

Update to use the snl(3) api.

@melifaro thanks for the differential. I remember darkly, that there was PR a few month ago, that FreeBSD doesn't support "route print" like most operating systems do. Would it be possible to integrate that feature of that differential and netlink?

I think that this should be updated to mention @melifaro as author.

Generally I'm not opposed to the idea. There are a number of things to be sorted out, though. For example, what should be the column format, should it be machine-readable (as currently /sbin/route does not have any lib depenencies) and so on.
I guess the easiest would be to do execve /usr/sbin/netstat -[46]rn on route print inside route(8) if so desired. That should be pretty straight-forwarded to implement. I'm not sure I'll have cycles to do this ATM, as I'm full-hands in Netlink conversion. I'm happy to review such change if somebody else comes up with the patch.
