libbnetapi: Add BNetworkRoute to replace use of route_entry.

The BNetworkRoute class manages a route_entry and the sockaddr's
associated with it. It replaces the direct use of route_entry in the
BNetworkInterface API.

Using route_entry is fragile and inconvenient as it only holds pointers
to the sockaddr's. When getting a list of routes from the kernel, each
route_entry is set up so that its pointers point into the single flat
buffer that is passed around. Creating a copy of the route_entry and
then deleting the flat buffer makes the pointers in the copy stale.
Returning these route entries therefore always lead to a use-after-free
when they were eventually used.

BNetworkRoute also takes over the code and functionallity of getting
routes from RouteSupport. The corresponding method in BNetworkRoster is
replaced by a static method in BNetworkRoute.

Also distinguish between the default route and gateway of an interface.
GetDefaultRoute() now gets the default BNetworkRoute for the interface
while GetDefaultGateway() gets the associated gateway address within
that default route. Adjust network preferences panel to this change.

Note that we currently only seem to have per interface default routes
and not an actual global default route. This was already the case before
these changes and I did not further investigate what this means.

Revert "Move getifaddrs to libnetwork again."

This reverts commit 31ea76548a64b232ed10cb444bf84ca1f7e40b0f.

Adrien, please try again without clobbering the otherwise nice
BNetworkInterface API!

Move getifaddrs to libnetwork again.

* BNetworkInterfaceAddress is moved to libnetwork. It is modified to not
use BNetworkAddress (which is in libbnetapi) and instead use sockaddr
and sockaddr_storage directly. All callers are adjusted to this.
* Some support code is shared between BNetworkInterface and
BNetworkInterfaceAddress, move it to libnetwork but in the BPrivate
namespace.


# 41d42066 18-Nov-2013 Stefano Ceccherini <stefano.ceccherini@gmail.com>

Added family parameter to the GetRoutes() API.
Moved common code to a private file.


# 905f910e 16-Nov-2013 Stefano Ceccherini <stefano.ceccherini@gmail.com>

Network route API: Second try (WIP).
Implement BNetworkRoster::GetRoutes() and BNetworkInterface::GetRoutes().
Also implement BNetworkInterface::GetDefaultGateway().
There is code duplication at the moment, and the api only supports IPV4.


# 2087545c 23-Nov-2010 Axel Dörfler <axeld@pinc-software.de>

* Added methods to manipulate routes.
* Added AutoConfigure() method.
* Implemented missing Index() method.

(depending on the configuration, it could be either one).

* Added "const" where it makes sense.
* Added convenience functions for AddAddress(), and RemoveAddress() that only
take the actual address.

later in order to test the API.
