[strace/strace] Truncation of netlink/NETLINK_ROUTE RTA_MULTIPATH attribute in display (#195)

[CatsMum]

I issue the command below

`strace ip route add default scope global table 404 nexthop via 192.168.201.201 dev enp3s0u2u1 weight 1 nexthop via 192.168.202.202 dev enp3s0u2u2 weight 1`

The important netlink message is reported as:
```sendmsg(3, {msg_name={sa_family=AF_NETLINK, nl_pid=0, nl_groups=00000000}, msg_namelen=12, msg_iov=[{iov_base=[{nlmsg_len=72, nlmsg_type=RTM_NEWROUTE, nlmsg_flags=NLM_F_REQUEST|NLM_F_ACK|NLM_F_EXCL|NLM_F_CREATE, nlmsg_seq=1632573434, nlmsg_pid=0}, {rtm_family=AF_INET, rtm_dst_len=0, rtm_src_len=0, rtm_tos=0, rtm_table=RT_TABLE_UNSPEC, rtm_protocol=RTPROT_BOOT, rtm_scope=RT_SCOPE_UNIVERSE, rtm_type=RTN_UNICAST, rtm_flags=0}, [[{nla_len=8, nla_type=RTA_TABLE}, 0x194], [{nla_len=36, nla_type=RTA_MULTIPATH}, {rtnh_len=16, rtnh_flags=0, rtnh_hops=0, rtnh_ifindex=if_nametoindex("enp3s0u2u1")}, [{nla_len=8, nla_type=RTA_GATEWAY}, inet_addr("192.168.201.201")]]]], iov_len=72}], msg_iovlen=1, msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0}, 0) = 72```

This shows only the first of the two nexthops.

The same message is reported by wireshark as 
```Frame 116: 88 bytes on wire (704 bits), 88 bytes captured (704 bits) on interface nlmon0, id 0

In the "Data" portion of the RTA_MULTIPATH attribute, both nexthops are shown:
1. `100000000300000008000500c0a8c9c9`
2. `100000000400000008000500c0a8caca`

The two interface devices involved are as follows
`...`
`3: enp3s0u2u1: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 00:0a:cd:2d:7d:98 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff`
`4: enp3s0u2u2: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 00:0a:cd:2d:7d:99 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff`
