[PATCH iproute2 net-next] ipmroute: add support for RTNH_F_UNRESOLVED

[Nikolay Aleksandrov]

This patch adds a new field that is printed in the end of the line which
denotes the real entry state. Before this patch an entry's IIF could
disappear and it would look like an unresolved one (iif = unresolved):
(3.0.16.1, 225.11.16.1)  Iif: unresolved
with no way to really distinguish it from an unresolved entry.
After the patch if the dumped entry has RTNH_F_UNRESOLVED set we get:
(3.0.16.1, 225.11.16.1)  Iif: unresolved  State: unresolved
for unresolved entries and:
(0.0.0.0, 225.11.11.11)  Iif: eth4   Oifs: eth3  State: resolved
for resolved entries after the OIF list. Note that "State:" has ':' in
it so it cannot be mistaken for an interface name.
And for the example above, we'd get:
(0.0.0.0, 225.11.11.11)  Iif: unresolved State: resolved

Also when dumping all routes via ip route show table all, it will show
up as:
multicast 225.11.16.1/32 from 3.0.16.1/32 table default proto 17 unresolved
