[IPV4]: Aggregate route entries with different TOS values

When we get an ICMP need-to-frag message, the original TOS value in the
ICMP payload cannot be used as a key to look up the routes to update.
This is because the TOS field may have been modified by routers on the
way.  Similarly, ip_rt_redirect should also ignore the TOS as the router
that gave us the message may have modified the TOS value.

The patch achieves this objective by aggregating entries with different
TOS values (but are otherwise identical) into the same bucket.  This
makes it easy to update them at the same time when an ICMP message is
received.

In future we should use a twin-hashing scheme where teh aggregation
occurs at the entry level.  That is, the TOS goes back into the hash
for normal lookups while ICMP lookups will end up with a node that
gives us a list that contains all other route entries that differ
only by TOS.
