[strongSwan-dev] install_virtual_ip option not working with kernel-pfroute

[Emeric POUPON]

Hello,

I noticed the option "install_virtual_ip" is not working on my setup (FreeBSD).
Actually, the "kernel-pfroute" plugin that is used do not implement that setting.

It would be fine to get it on this plugin too.

As an example, I have reapplied some code from the kernel_netlink plugin in order to make it work:
