[PATCH] iproute2 add hoplimit parsing and update usage and documentation

[Gilad Ben-Yossef <gilad@codefidence.com>]

From: Gilad Ben-Yossef <gilad@codefidence.com>

- Parse and handle the hoplimit ip route option and add it to the usage 
  line and documentation.

- Add the missing reordering ip route option to the usage line.

- Add documentation for initcwnd ip route option.

Tested by setting hoplimit and retreiving it via "show".

Debian is carrying a patch with identical functionality for some 
time now it seems.

Parts of this patch carved out from original patch by Yony Amit 
and Ori Finkelman from Comsleep Ltd. with minor bug
fixing and HEAD port by me.

Additional documentation bits inspired by Debian patch with unknown
author provided by Andreas Henriksson <andreas@fatal.se>
