Added redirect-gateway block-local flag, with support for
Linux, Mac OS X, and Linux. This flag (which is pushable from server) blocks client access to local LAN while VPN session is active. Added standalone --show-gateway option to show info about default gateway. Extensively refactored get_default_gateway function in route.c to ease implementation of block-local. Removed "Experimental" disclaimer from redirect-gateway man page. Version 2.1.3y. git-svn-id: http://svn.openvpn.net/projects/openvpn/branches/BETA21/openvpn@7334 e7ae566f-a301-0410-adde-c780ea21d3b5
