KRT: Fix IPv6 ECMP handling with Linux 4.11+

Browse Source 
Starting from Linux 4.11, IPv6 ECMP routes are now notified using
RTA_MULTIPATH, like IPv4 ones. The patch adds support for RTA_MULTIPATH
parsing for IPv6 routes. This also enables to parse ECMP alien routes
correctly.

Thanks to Vincent Bernat for the original patch.

/*
* Structure nl_parse_state keeps state of received route processing. Ideally,
* we could just independently parse received Netlink messages and immediately
* propagate received routes to the rest of BIRD, but Linux kernel represents
* and announces IPv6 ECMP routes not as one route with multiple next hops (like
* RTA_MULTIPATH in IPv4 ECMP), but as a set of routes with the same prefix.

* multiple next hops (like RTA_MULTIPATH in IPv4 ECMP), but as a sequence of
* routes with the same prefix. More recent kernels work as with IPv4.
*
* Therefore, BIRD keeps currently processed route in nl_parse_state structure
* and postpones its propagation until we expect it to be final; i.e., when
* non-matching route is received or when the scan ends. When another matching
* route is received, it is merged with the already processed route to form an
* ECMP route. Note that merging is done only for IPv6 (merge == 1), but the
* postponing is done in both cases (for simplicity). All IPv4 routes are just
* considered non-matching.

* This is ignored for asynchronous notifications (every notification is handled
* as a separate route). It is not an issue for our routes, as we ignore such
* notifications anyways. But importing alien IPv6 ECMP routes does not work
* properly.

*
* Whatever the kernel version is, IPv6 ECMP routes are sent as multiple routes
