support three routing modes as proposed by @bfg100k

Adds `ZEROTIER_ONE_GATEWAY_MODE` variable. Supported values are
`inbound` (forward traffic from ZeroTier cloud to local interfaces),
`outbound` (forward traffic from local interfaces to ZeroTier cloud)
and `both` (bi-directional). Defaults to `inbound`.

Also checks for `net.ipv4.ip_forward=1`. If not enabled, falls back
to standard client mode.

+	Defaults to `inbound` if omitted. Note that you will probably need one or more static routes configured in your local LAN router so that traffic originating in a local host which is not running the ZeroTier client can be directed to the gateway host.

 * `ZEROTIER_ONE_NETWORK_IDS` – a space-separated list of ZeroTier network IDs.
 
 	This variable is *only* effective on first launch. There is no default if it is omitted. Examples:
