net: ipv6: Add support to dump multipath routes via RTA_MULTIPATH attribute
IPv6 returns multipath routes as a series of individual routes making
their display and handling by userspace different and more complicated
than IPv4, putting the burden on the user to see that a route is part of
a multipath route and internally creating a multipath route if desired
(e.g., libnl does this as of commit 29b71371e764). This patch addresses
this difference, allowing multipath routes to be returned using the
RTA_MULTIPATH attribute.
The end result is that IPv6 multipath routes can be treated and displayed
in a format similar to IPv4:
$ ip -6 ro ls vrf red

2001:db8:2::/120 dev eth2 proto kernel metric 256 pref medium
