Add a Netlink rtm_flag, RTM_F_RA_ROUTER for the RTM_NEWROUTE message. This allows an IPv6 Netlink client to indicate the default route came from an RA. This results in the kernel creating individual default routes, rather than coalescing multiple default routes into a single ECMP route. This change also needs to be reflected in the man7/rtnetlink.7 page.
