Thank you @WeidiDeng. Let's do the right change, let's make the behavior of the addr add/del methods in line with iproute2 behavior. |

@aboch I removed the comment when deleting an address since it makes no sense. |

Another go at fixing 329.
According to comment, broadcast address auto-calculation is now a feature, and there is no intention to revert that. However, sometimes users do not want broadcast to be enabled.
Currently this can be done by setting
Broadcasttonet.IPv4zero. But that's not a public api of the netlink. And in my test, it will cause an error to be generated in the kernel log likeattribute type 4 has an invalid length..I think we can use this as a special value to disable broadcast since it already works. But now we explicitly set it to nil when interacting with netlink.
This is an alternative to introducing a new function or extending the
Addrstruct.
