net: rtnetlink: decouple rtnetlink address families from real address families

Browse Source 
Decouple rtnetlink address families from real address families in socket.h to
be able to add rtnetlink interfaces to code that is not a real address family
without increasing AF_MAX/NPROTO.

This will be used to add support for multicast route dumping from all tables
as the proc interface can't be extended to support anything but the main table
without breaking compatibility.

This partialy undoes the patch to introduce independant families for routing
rules and converts ipmr routing rules to a new rtnetlink family. Similar to
that patch, values up to 127 are reserved for real address families, values
above that may be used arbitrarily.
