  The "route add" code always used "metric 0" on OpenSolaris, because
(on tun interfaces) it was required to make the route work on
"non-ethernet" interfaces (connected, no NDP).

This breaks routes via tap interfaces on recent Solaris versions
(tested on OpenIndiana 2019) - there, routes only work if metric
is != 0 (or just not set).  Otherwise it tries to map the gateway
address to a local address and fails.

I have no means to test the code so I only stared at it and ensured it
was affecting the SOLARIS platform code only. It does what the commit
says and it makes sense in the solaris-nonsense-world.

Gert has performed some live tests on his new OpenIndiana 2019 host
(where the problem was observed) and ensured it worked fine.

I have also pulled this to release/2.4, as it's needed to unbreak
tap on OpenIndiana.

(This is the "route metric 0" confusion - the "do not mix addif and mtu"
patch is not needed because the offending refactoring is not in 2.4
either)
