Add possibility to pass default route without -host (for p2p interfaces)

[pva@gentoo.org]

My intension is to configure default route to point on interface. IOW to configure routing like could be done with the following command:
# ip route add default dev venet0

This useful for openvz containers where point-to-point interfaces exist. May be useful in some other scenarios, like vpn or other.

In /etc/conf.d/net I have:

routes_dev="default"

While this works with iproute2 this does not works with net-tools. There reason is that openrc conciders "default" route to be host and adds -host to $cmd. specific snipplet from net.lo:

case ${cmd} in

-net" "*host" "*);;

*" "netmask" "*) cmd="-net ${cmd}";;
*.*.*.*/32*) cmd="-host ${cmd}";;
*.*.*.*/*|0.0.0.0" "*|default" "*) cmd="-net ${cmd}";;
*) cmd="-host ${cmd}";;

esac

In "default" case only last line does works and thus
# route add -host default metric 2 dev venet0
is called. I think this is wrong as "default" is network and either -net passed or nothing as
# route add default dev venet0
works too. Possible sollutions are:
remove " "*:

• *.*.*.*/*|0.0.0.0" "*|default" "*) cmd="-net ${cmd}";;

+ *.*.*.*/*|0.0.0.0" "*|default) cmd="-net ${cmd}";;

or don't path anything for default, like it is skipped in iprote2.sh:

+ default*) cmd="${cmd}";;

*.*.*.*/*|0.0.0.0" "*) cmd="-net ${cmd}";;

What do you think, Roy?

Allow the route "default" to work properly

Does that patch work for you?
