Rob Murray 468e3521b0 macvlan: do not allocate a gateway address from IPAM
When macvlan is given no '--gateway' option, an address is
allocated from IPAM and a default route is set up via that
gateway. But, the gateway address is not assigned to anything
in the Docker macvlan network - it must be external, and
IPAM shouldn't try to guess it.

When IPv6 auto-configuration is enabled in the network the
macvlan is connected to, the macvlan driver races against it
to set up the gateway. When autoconfig wins, container creation
fails because the default route already exists.

So ...

- disable IPAM gateway address allocation for macvlan
- update the Join code to allow for no configured gateway
- always disable 'docker_gwbridge' connection for macvlan
  networks, so it's not hooked up when there is no gateway
  address.

Libnet assumes an endpoint with no statically configured default
gateway or route does not provide external connectivity. So, it
disables external DNS access, and will not select the endpoint
as gateway for containers. So, where an IPAM allocated gateway
address would have been assigned before, tell libnet to assume
there will be an auto-configured gateway.
