Like kernel net-next commit 72f6d71e491e6 ("vxlan: add ttl inherit support"),
vxlan ttl inherit should means inherit the inner protocol's ttl value.
But currently when we add vxlan with "ttl inherit", we only set ttl 0,
which is actually use whatever default value instead of inherit the inner
protocol's ttl value.
To make a difference with ttl inherit and ttl == 0, we add an attribute
IFLA_VXLAN_TTL_INHERIT when "ttl inherit" specified. And use "ttl auto"
to means "use whatever default value", the same behavior with ttl == 0.
