Description
Component
systemd-networkd
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe
The current implementation in #38855 always adds the default gateway obtained from ModemManager to the main routing table. This may not be desired. [MobileNetwork] should support adding to other routing tables just like [DHCPv4] [DHCPv6] and [IPv6AcceptRA].

Research direction
Start by examining the MobileNetwork implementation and the changes from #38855, then compare how DHCPv4, DHCPv6, and IPv6AcceptRA add routes to non-main tables. The work is done when [MobileNetwork] can place the ModemManager-provided default gateway in another routing table through the same kind of configuration supported by those components.
