Finish r274175: do control plane MTU tracking.

Description

Finish r274175: do control plane MTU tracking.

Update route MTU in case of ifnet MTU change.
Add new RTF_FIXEDMTU to track explicitly specified MTU.

Old behavior:
ifconfig em0 mtu 1500->9000 -> all routes traversing em0 do not change MTU.
User has to manually update all routes.
ifconfig em0 mtu 9000->1500 -> all routes traversing em0 do not change MTU.
However, if ip[6]_output finds route with rt_mtu > interface mtu, rt_mtu
gets updated.

New behavior:
ifconfig em0 mtu 1500->9000 -> all interface routes in all fibs gets updated
with new MTU unless RTF_FIXEDMTU flag set on them.
ifconfig em0 mtu 9000->1500 -> all routes in all fibs gets updated with new
MTU unless RTF_FIXEDMTU flag set on them AND rt_mtu is less than ifp mtu.

route add ... -mtu XXX automatically sets RTF_FIXEDMTU flag.
route change .. -mtu 0 automatically removes RTF_FIXEDMTU flag.
