Added support for "on-link" routes on Linux client
These are routes where the gateway is specified as an interface rather
than an address. This allows redirect-gateway to work on Linux clients
whose connection to the internet is via a point-to-point link such as
PPP.
Note that at the moment, this capability is incompatible with
the "redirect-gateway block-local" directive -- this is because
the block-local directive blocks all traffic from the local LAN
except for the local and gateway addresses. Since a PPP link
is essentially a subnet of two addresses, local and remote (i.e.
gateway), the set of addresses that would be blocked by block-local
is empty. Therefore, the "redirect-gateway block-local" directive
will be ignored on PPP links.
To view the OpenVPN client's current determination of the default
gateway, use this command:
./openvpn --show-gateway
