This checkin addresses a couple of issues:

1. The "route" command allows route insertion through the interface-direct
   option "-iface". During if_attach(), an sockaddr_dl{} entry is created
   for the interface and is part of the interface address list. This
   sockaddr_dl{} entry describes the interface in detail. The "route"
   command selects this entry as the "gateway" object when the "-iface"
   option is present. The "arp" and "ndp" commands also interact with the
   kernel through the routing socket when adding and removing static L2
   entries. The static L2 information is also provided through the
   "gateway" object with an AF_LINK family type, similar to what is
   provided by the "route" command. In order to differentiate between
   these two types of operations, a RTF_LLDATA flag is introduced. This
   flag is set by the "arp" and "ndp" commands when issuing the add and
   delete commands. This flag is also set in each L2 entry returned by the
   kernel. The "arp" and "ndp" command follows a convention where a RTM_GET
   is issued first followed by a RTM_ADD/DELETE. This RTM_GET request fills
   in the fields for a "rtm" object, which is reinjected into the kernel by
   a subsequent RTM_ADD/DELETE command. The entry returend from RTM_GET
   is a prefix route, so the RTF_LLDATA flag must be specified when issuing
   the RTM_ADD/DELETE messages.

2. Enforce the convention that NET_RT_FLAGS with a 0 w_arg is the
   specification for retrieving L2 information. Also optimized the
   code logic.
