Disallow host routes that point to themselves. These routes serve no

purpose, other than to get in the way of the ARP table and cause
"can't allocate llinfo" errors.

This change may cause gated or routed to start complaining when adding
such routes.  If so, these programs will need to be fixed to not try
to add these routes.
