ipv4: Set scope explicitly in ip_route_output().
Add a "scope" parameter to ip_route_output() so that callers don't have to override the tos parameter with the RTO_ONLINK flag if they want a local scope. This will allow converting flowi4_tos to dscp_t in the future, thus allowing static analysers to flag invalid interactions between "tos" (the DSCP bits) and ECN. Only three users ask for local scope (bonding, arp and atm). The others continue to use RT_SCOPE_UNIVERSE. While there, add a comment to warn users about the limitations of ip_route_output().
