Not sure if anyone uses the routel script. The script was
a combination of ip route, shell and awk doing command scraping.
It is now possible to do this much better using the JSON
output formats and python.
Rewriting also fixes the bug where the old script could not parse
the current output format. At the end was getting:
/usr/bin/routel: 48: shift: can't shift that many
The new script also has IPv6 as option.

As noticed by one of the few users of routel script, it ends up in an
infinite loop when they pull out the cable from the NIC used for some
route. This is caused by its parser expecting the line of "ip route show"
output consists of "key value" pairs (except for the initial target range),
together with an old trap of Bourne style shells that "shift 2" does
nothing if there is only one argument left. Some keywords, e.g. "linkdown",
are not followed by a value.
Improve the parser to
(1) only set variables for keywords we care about
(2) recognize (currently) known keywords without value
This is still far from perfect (and certainly not future proof) but to
fully fix the script, one would probably have to rewrite the logic
completely (and I'm not sure it's worth the effort).
