Subject: KRT: Add krt_scope attribute

Add a new route attribute, krt_scope, to expose the Linux kernel route
scope. Constants from /etc/iproute2/rt_scopes (prefixed by "ips_") are
expected to be used with the attribute. Both import and export are
supported.

Also, the patch fixes device route export to the kernel, by setting link
scope automatically.
