Subject: [PATCH iproute2-next v4 4/6] nexthop: Add ability to specify group type

From: Ido Schimmel <idosch@...dia.com>

Next patches are going to add a 'resilient' nexthop group type, so allow
users to specify the type using the 'type' argument. Currently, only
'mpath' type is supported.

These two commands are equivalent:

 # ip nexthop add id 10 group 1/2/3
 # ip nexthop add id 10 group 1/2/3 type mpath

Notes:
    v2:
    - Add a missing example command to commit message
    - Mention in the man page that mpath is the default
