feat: convert execs to ip to netlink calls

Not making direct exec calls to user binary interfaces has long been a
principle of kube-router. When kube-router was first coded, the netlink
library was missing significant features that forced us to exec out.
However, now netlink seems to have most of the functionality that we
need.

This converts all of the places where we can use netlink to use the
netlink functionality.
