Netlink: Do not ignore dead routes from BIRD

Currently, BIRD ignores dead routes to consider them absent. But it also
ignores its own routes and thus it can not correctly manage such routes
in some cases. This patch makes an exception for routes with proto bird
when ignoring dead routes, so they can be properly updated or removed.

Thanks to Alexander Zubkov for the original patch.
