Research direction

Start by tracing how mgd represents routes through links and how it receives link-deletion information from dpd. Reproduce the behavior with a route whose link is removed, then determine the expected graceful handling and add coverage for it. Done means mgd no longer mishandles routes after their link is deleted.
