Add DHCP lease file to route detection

Peter B requested to merge add-dhcp-lease-route-detection into master

This is an alternative to !8 (merged)

I created a new merge request that is just a slightly modified solution.  The /var/lib/dhclient/$extif.routers file is managed by the /etc/dhcp/dhclient-exit-hooks.d/app-network.sh script.  It's a programmatic way of getting the route - no complicated parsing required.  However, if the file is empty, it will now fall back to the dhclient lease file parsing in Todd's merge request:

        if (-e "/var/lib/dhclient/$extif.routers") {
            $gateway = `/bin/cat /var/lib/dhclient/$extif.routers 2>/dev/null`;
            chomp($gateway);
        }

        if (!$gateway) {
            LogMsg("debug", $extif, "network - gateway not found in DHCP state file\n") if $config{debug};
            $gateway = `tail -n 15 /var/lib/dhclient/dhclient*$extif.lease | grep routers | /bin/awk {\'print \$3\'} |  tr -d  ';'`;
            chomp($gateway);
        }
