pasta: Strip RTA_PREFSRC when copying routes to the namespace

Browse source 
Host routes can include a preferred source address (RTA_PREFSRC), which
must be one of the host's addresses.  However when using pasta with -a the
namespace might be given a different address, not on the host.  This seems
to occur pretty routinely depending on the network configuration systems
in place on the host.

With --config-net we will try to copy host routes to the namespace.  If
one of those includes an RTA_PREFSRC, but the namespace doesn't have the
host address, this will fail with -EINVAL, causing pasta to fail.

Fix this by stripping off RTA_PREFSRC attributes from routes as we copy
them to the namespace.  This is by no means infallible, bit it should at
least handle common cases for the time being.
