Subject: [PATCH] iproute2 add hoplimit and reordering route options usage and parsing

iproute2 git HEAD (spotted originally on 2.6.26, so it's probably not new) 
does  not parse the hoplimit route option when proccessing parameters, nor 
does it  print hoplimit and reordering options in the usage lines.  
This patch fixes both. 

Tested by setting hoplimit and be retreiving it via "show".

Carved out from original patch by Yuki Arbel and Ori Finkelman from 
Comsleep Ltd. which I'm asssiting in mainlining.
