Fix interface selection for IPv6-only hosts

Instead of considering the full IPv4 routing table, we only look for
IPv4 default route and IPv6 routes shorter or equal /8 (for instance
`2000::/3`). Since the `conf.route6` is not ready yet when we first run,
we reload `conf.ifaces` after loading `route6.py`.

This fixes #4304
