nexthop: Emit a notification when a nexthop is added
Emit a notification in the nexthop notification chain when a new nexthop is added (not replaced). The nexthop can either be a new group or a single nexthop. The notification is sent after the nexthop is inserted into the red-black tree, as listeners might need to callback into the nexthop code with the nexthop ID in order to mark the nexthop as offloaded. A 'REPLACE' notification is emitted instead of 'ADD' as the distinction between the two is not important for in-kernel listeners. In case the listener is not familiar with the encoded nexthop ID, it can simply treat it as a new one. This is also consistent with the route offload API.
