[IPv4]: FIB configuration using struct fib_config

Introduces struct fib_config replacing the ugly struct kern_rta
prone to ordering issues. Avoids creating faked netlink messages
for auto generated routes or requests via ioctl.

A new interface net/nexthop.h is added to help navigate through
nexthop configuration arrays.

A new struct nl_info will be used to carry the necessary netlink
information to be used for notifications later on.
