Ideally, shouldn't the dump request be performed after spawning the receive go routine ?

Should we call this ListExisting ? I think it would be more self-explanatory.

If an application wants to track the set of kernel routes (or addresses or links) it needs to both determine the initial content and subscribe to changes. However, there are inherent race conditions in using RouteList + RouteSubscribe. If RouteList is invoked before RouteSubscribe then obviously some changes can be lost in between. But more subtly, in the other other the application can see some adds and deletes from the subscribe before the RouteList results, which makes it hard to track the actual content of the kernel.
This patch adds a List boolean option which makes RouteSubscribeWithOptions (and same for addr and links) request the list and the subscription and feed the initial table as "adds" to the application, which makes it a lot easier to track the kernel table.
