Petr Machata de1d1ee3e3 nexthop: Rename artifacts related to legacy multipath nexthop groups
After resilient next-hop groups have been added recently, there are two
types of multipath next-hop groups: the legacy "mpath", and the new
"resilient". Calling the legacy next-hop group type "mpath" is unfortunate,
because that describes the fact that a packet could be forwarded in one of
several paths, which is also true for the resilient next-hop groups.

Therefore, to make the naming clearer, rename various artifacts to reflect
the assumptions made. Therefore as of this patch:

- The flag for multipath groups is nh_grp_entry::is_multipath. This
  includes the legacy and resilient groups, as well as any future group
  types that behave as multipath groups.
  Functions that assume this have "mpath" in the name.

- The flag for legacy multipath groups is nh_grp_entry::hash_threshold.
  Functions that assume this have "hthr" in the name.

- The flag for resilient groups is nh_grp_entry::resilient.
  Functions that assume this have "res" in the name.

Besides the above, struct nh_grp_entry::mpath was renamed to ::hthr as
well.

UAPI artifacts were obviously left intact.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
