#1322 accepted Feature Wish
Use actual VPN gateway address to determine "default" route

Description
Align IPv4 code with IPv6 code, so "get_default_gateway()" grows an extra field for "destination address to query", and fill that with the VPN gateway's (IPv4) address.
After all, this is what we're interested in, not "some /0 route that might not be the route actually used" (machines with multiple interfaces are getting more common)

Work for 2.6 focused on DCO, not on "routing things".
We still want this, so bumping the milestone to 2.7
On the BSDs, this should be somewhat easy ("just pass a host IP and a /32 mask").
On Windows, it means "rewrite, using GetBestInterfaceEx? () and GetBestRoute2()" (but possibly can be combined with the IPv6 code).
On Linux, "just pass in the real v4 address, instead of 0.0.0.1/32".
And then, testing :-)
