Hi Alexander,

I think the logic of adding route from NETLINK routine is not complete.

After bumping netlink debug level,
```
# sysctl net.netlink.debug.nl_route_debug_level=9
```

I got these from kernel message:
```
# dmesg | tail
...
[nl_route] finalize_nhop: Unable to determine ifa, skipping
[nl_route] rtnl_handle_newroute: Error creating nexthop
...
```

From https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/tree/sys/netlink/route/rt.c?h=releng/14.0#n753 :

```
	/* Both nh_ifp and gateway are set */
	if (nh->nh_ifa == NULL) {
		const struct sockaddr *gw_sa = &nh->gw_sa;

		if (gw_sa->sa_family != dst->sa_family) {
			/*
			 * Use dst as the target for determining the default
			 * preferred ifa IF
			 * 1) the gateway is link-level (e.g. direct route)
			 * 2) the gateway family is different (e.g. IPv4 over IPv6).
			 */
			gw_sa = dst;
		}

		struct ifaddr *ifa = ifaof_ifpforaddr(gw_sa, nh->nh_ifp);
		if (ifa == NULL) {
			NL_LOG(LOG_DEBUG, "Unable to determine ifa, skipping");
			*perror = EINVAL;
			return (NULL);
		}
		nhop_set_src(nh, ifa);
	}
```
If the outgoing interface `nh->nh_ifp` does not have any IPv4 addresses, we should try ifaddrs on other interfaces,
and have 0.0.0.0 as the last sort ( in case the net stack is IPv6 only, i.e., no IPv4 addresses available )
