Netlink: Use route replace for IPv4

Browse source 
Use route replace netlink op instead of delete+add netlink ops for kernel
IPv4 route replace. This avoids some packetloss during route replace.
Still use the old behavior for IPv6, as some kernel bugs are hidden in
IPv6 ECMP handling.

* We could use NL_OP_REPLACE, but route replace on Linux has some problems:

* 1) Does not check for matching rtm_protocol
* 2) Has broken semantics for IPv6 ECMP
* 3) Crashes some kernel version when used for IPv6 ECMP
* We do not use NL_OP_REPLACE for IPv6, as it has broken semantics for ECMP

*
* So we use NL_OP_DELETE and then NL_OP_ADD. We also do not trust the old
