    ipv4/ipv6: Prepare for new route gateway semantics. · 39232973

    In the future the ipv4/ipv6 route gateway will take on two types
    of values:
    
    1) INADDR_ANY/IN6ADDR_ANY, for local network routes, and in this case
       the neighbour must be obtained using the destination address in
       ipv4/ipv6 header as the lookup key.
    
    2) Everything else, the actual nexthop route address.
    
    So if the gateway is not inaddr-any we use it, otherwise we must use
    the packet's destination address.
