    arp: fix adding proxy entries for P2P interfaces

    The old rtsock implementation used in-kernel workaround to do so.
    When route to specified destination address used P2P interface, the
    kernel did the search with ifa_ifwithnet() for most suitable network
    and then add proxy entry to this interface.

    Use similar approach with netlink implementation. We already have
    get_ether_addr() function that does almost the same thing as
    ifa_ifwithnet(). Use it when we find that destination route uses
    P2P interface and then try to guess suitable interface. This should
    fix the use of netlink-based arp(8) in mpd5.

    Rename get_ether_addr() to get_ifinfo(), since now it is used to find
    only ifindex in case when hwaddr is specified by user.
    Also make set_nl() and delete_nl() prototype similar to rtsock.
    And allow '-i' to be used with '-S', since we already allow the same
    for '-s'.
