Subject: [PATCH iproute2-next] geneve: fix ttl inherit behavior

Currently when we add geneve with "ttl inherit", we set ttl to 0, which
is actually use whatever default value instead of inherit the inner
protocol's ttl value.

To respect compatibility with old behavior and make a difference between
ttl inherit and ttl == 0, we add an attribute IFLA_GENEVE_TTL_INHERIT in
kernel commit 52d0d404d39dd ("geneve: add ttl inherit support").

Now let's use "ttl inherit" to inherit the inner protocol's ttl, and use
"ttl auto" to means "use whatever default value", the same behavior with
ttl == 0.
