Remove src-prefix when ipv6_subtrees is disabled

Note that the previous auto-detection is wrong. IPV6_SUBTREES exists
since (at least?) Linux 2.6.32. On the other side, a recent kernel may
be built without source-based routing.

Our use of this patch is safe because we control entirely with
re6stnet which routes babeld is going to install.

This specifies whether to use native source-specific IPv6 forwarding
rather than multiple routing tables. The default is chosen automatically
depending on the kernel version.
Linux IPv6 only, default is true. If false, source prefix is cleared when the
route is installed. Do not use unless you know what you're doing.
