net: Fix routing tables with id > 255 for legacy software
Most legacy software do not like tables > 255 as rtm_table is u8 so tb_id is sent &0xff and it is possible to mismatch for example table 510 with table 254 (main). This patch introduces RT_TABLE_COMPAT=252 so the code uses it if tb_id > 255. It makes such old applications happy, new ones are still able to use RTA_TABLE to get a proper table id.
