multi-FIB changes for GENERIC

Hi,

back in September last year I had prototyped a patch to make the multi-FIB
kernel option just a default removing the need for it to be set for the
maximum number of FIBs allowed.  This is allowing the multi-FIB feature to
be used with GENERIC kernels by just changing the tunable.

Thanks to Alexander eliminating the last consumers of RT_NUMFIBS in code, this
is now possible.  I haven't boot-tested the re-done patch below yet but it should
be fine and passes the compile test.  Please test and review.

This is also a next step to allow growing the number of FIBs available more
easily in the future (subject to mbuf changes).
