Added this to the commit message:

fc_type is set in current users based on the algorithm in rt6_fill_node:
  - rt6i_flags contains RTF_LOCAL: fc_type = RTN_LOCAL
  - rt6i_flags contains RTF_ANYCAST: fc_type = RTN_ANYCAST
  - else fc_type = RTN_UNICAST

Similarly, fib6_type is set in the rt6_info templates based on the
RTF_REJECT section of rt6_fill_node converting dst.error to RTN type.

Will send a v2 later this week.
