[rtsock] Enforce netmask/RTF_HOST consistency.

Description

[rtsock] Enforce netmask/RTF_HOST consistency.

Traditionally we had 2 sources of information whether the
added/delete route request targets network or a host route:
netmask (RTA_NETMASK) and RTF_HOST flag.

The former one is tricky: netmask can be empty or can explicitly
specify the host netmask. Parsing netmask sockaddr requires per-family
parsing and that's what rtsock code traditionally avoided. As a result,
consistency was not enforced and it was possible to specify network with
the RTF_HOST flag and vice versa.

Continue normalization efforts from D29826 and D29826 and ensure that
RTF_HOST flag always reflects host/network data from netmask field.
