SO_RERROR indicates that receive buffer overflows should be handled as
errors. Historically receive buffer overflows have been ignored and
programs could not tell if they missed messages or messages had been
truncated because of overflows. Since programs historically do not
expect to get receive overflow errors, this behavior is not the
default.
This is really really important for programs that use route(4) to keep
in sync with the system. If we loose a message then we need to reload
the full system state, otherwise the behaviour from that point is
undefined and can lead to chasing bogus bug reports.

route(8): clarify -prefixlen description
Try to reword -prefixlen section to more clearly and accurately describe how
the -prefixlen modifier works.
While here, fix a word that igor considered a typo: aggregatable addresses is a
valid technical term per RFC-2374, however, it was superseded by the term
"aggregator" in RFC-3587.

The current route(8) manpage shows that "flush" is an argument to
the optional -n flag, rather than a separate subcommand. Correct
this to properly show flush as a route subcommand.

Only require a gateway to be specified on a route add request. On
a route change request that does not specify the gateway, the
gateway will remain the same. This allows changing other route
parameters without having to re-specifying the gateway, like in
"route change 10.0.0.0/8 -mtu 9000".
Update the route(8) manpage to explicitly call out this usage
as being supported.

The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification

this leads to growing number of not finished route(8) instances and
thus growing number of rtsock consumers. Add SIGALRM handler to prevent this.

/sbin/route has a bug where if it is passed an interface name that does
not exist, it falls through and winds up interpreting it as a hostname.
It fails out eventually, but on a system where DNS lookup is broken you
can end up waiting for up to 60 seconds waiting for the DNS lookup to
timeout. I'm not quite sure what happens if the DNS lookup somehow
succeeds but I doubt that can end well.

Update route MTU in case of ifnet MTU change.
Add new RTF_FIXEDMTU to track explicitly specified MTU.
Old behavior:
ifconfig em0 mtu 1500->9000 -> all routes traversing em0 do not change MTU.
User has to manually update all routes.
ifconfig em0 mtu 9000->1500 -> all routes traversing em0 do not change MTU.
However, if ip[6]_output finds route with rt_mtu > interface mtu, rt_mtu
gets updated.
New behavior:
ifconfig em0 mtu 1500->9000 -> all interface routes in all fibs gets updated
with new MTU unless RTF_FIXEDMTU flag set on them.
ifconfig em0 mtu 9000->1500 -> all routes in all fibs gets updated with new
MTU unless RTF_FIXEDMTU flag set on them AND rt_mtu is less than ifp mtu.
route add ... -mtu XXX automatically sets RTF_FIXEDMTU flag.

Initially in_matrote() in_clsroute() in their current state was introduced by
r4105 20 years ago. Instead of deleting inactive routes immediately, we kept them
in route table, setting RTPRF_OURS flag and some expire time. After that, either
GC came or RTPRF_OURS got removed on first-packet. It was a good solution
in that days (and probably another decade after that) to keep TCP metrics.
However, after moving metrics to TCP hostcache in r122922, most of in_rmx
functionality became unused. It might had been used for flushing icmp-originated
routes before rte mutexes/refcounting, but I'm not sure about that.
So it looks like this is nearly impossible to make GC do its work nowadays:
in_rtkill() ignores non-RTPRF_OURS routes.
route can only become RTPRF_OURS after dropping last reference via rtfree()
which calls in_clsroute(), which, it turn, ignores UP and non-RTF_DYNAMIC routes.
Dynamic routes can still be installed via received redirect, but they
have default lifetime (no specific rt_expire) and no one has another trie walker
to call RTFREE() on them.
So, the changelist:
* remove custom rnh_match / rnh_close matching function.
* remove all GC functions
* partially revert r256695 (proto3 is no more used inside kernel,
it is not possible to use rt_expire from user point of view, proto3 support
is not complete)
* Finish r241884 (similar to this commit) and remove remaining IPv6 parts

Since radix has been ignoring sa_family in passed sockaddrs,
no one ever has bothered filling valid sa_family in netmasks.
Additionally, radix adjusts sa_len field in every netmask not to
compare zero bytes at all.
This leads us to rt_mask with sa_family of AF_UNSPEC (-1) and
arbitrary sa_len field (0 for default route, for example).
However, rtsock have been passing that rt_mask intact for ages,
requiring all rtsock consumers to make ther own local hacks.
We even have unfixed on in base:
do `route -n monitor` in one window and issue `route -n get addr`
for some directly-connected address. You will probably see the following:

AppleTalk was a network transport protocol for Apple Macintosh devices
in 80s and then 90s. Starting with Mac OS X in 2000 the AppleTalk was
a legacy protocol and primary networking protocol is TCP/IP. The last
Mac OS X release to support AppleTalk happened in 2009. The same year
routing equipment vendors (namely Cisco) end their support.
Thus, AppleTalk won't be supported in FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE.
IPX was a network transport protocol in Novell's NetWare network operating
system from late 80s and then 90s. The NetWare itself switched to TCP/IP
as default transport in 1998. Later, in this century the Novell Open
Enterprise Server became successor of Novell NetWare. The last release
that claimed to still support IPX was OES 2 in 2007. Routing equipment
vendors (e.g. Cisco) discontinued support for IPX in 2011.
Thus, IPX won't be supported in FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE.
