This will help me address bin/11079, "dhclient may require arp and sed".
Extract common code from flushroutes() and show(), creating
parse_show_opts().
While I'm here, make small cosmetic changes to flushroutes().

(flushroutes).
family is unset. Either the destination or interface address socket address
family value is used. This change prevents the following sort of output:
RTM_NEWADDR: address being added to iface: len 60, metric 0, flags:<UP>
sockaddrs: <NETMASK,IFA,BRD>
(0) 00.00.ff.00.00 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1
With this change the last line becomes:
255.0.0.0 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1
Also make sure that when using a generated inet netmask the address family
is set. With this change a generated netmask will print appropriately
when using the verbose (-v) option.

Handle routing socket write(2) errors when they occur. This produces
better diagnostics by allowing for handling of the special route errno
values ESRCH, EBUSY, and ENOBUFS even with the quiet (-q) option or
when doing a get command.
routing socket, e.g. running route flush as non-root.
* When quiet (-q) don't append error string to a non-existent
diagnostic output (stdout). The error diagnostic is still written
to stderr. [from FreeBSD]
* Use warn(3) in place of perror(3).
