Document the other two types of message header (if_msghdr and

ifa_msghdr) that are used for the RTM_NEWADDR, RTM_DELADDR and
RTM_IFINFO messages. Also line up the comments a bit better in the
displays.

The
.Dv RTM_IFINFO
message uses a
.Ar if_msghdr
header, the
.Dv RTM_NEWADDR
and
.Dv RTM_DELADDR
messages use a
.Ar ifa_msghdr
header, and all other messages use the
.Ar rt_msghdr
header.
