Description
Environment: Ubuntu on Windows 10 version 1703
nfd-start gives error "Cannot enable NETLINK_PKTINFO (Invalid argument)" and NFD process quits.
NetworkMonitor API is designed to fallback gracefully.
If NETLINK_PKTINFO is unavailable from the kernel, it should not crash, but should have reduced functionality such as NetworkMonitorImplNoop.

- Target version set to Unsupported
I'm not interested in adding workarounds for broken/incomplete netlink implementations on unsupported platforms. This is already the second time we hit a bug (or missing feature) in WSL's implementation of netlink.
NetworkMonitor API is designed to fallback gracefully.
Yes and no. The current "fallback" is decided at compile-time, not at run-time.
