Wire up the libnl utilities Jeff and Ralph added previously to
the netlink reachable component so that it actually does work.
The algorithm is a bit simplistic, but should work for our use
cases. If there's a route, assume the two interfaces can talk.
If there's no gateway, assume the two interfaces are in the
same subnet, and give preference to that connection. If there's
a gateway, assume there's a route, but the interfaces are not
in the same subnet.

The netlink component's libnl wrapper code returned the
next hop in the route table to allow the calling code
to differentiate between same and different networks,
which is a fine comparison for IPv4, but is pretty
expensive for IPv6 (coming soon to a netlink component
near you). Rather than provide extra information
(the address of the next hop), just provide whether
there is a gateway or not, which is all the netlink
component actually needs.

Ralph and Jeff created the reachable framework and added the
netlink component based on code copied from the usnic btl.
However, they never renamed all the symbols from the libnl
compatibility code. This patch finishes the rename.
