Description
Currently, NLSR appears to use the Capture instead of the default Child Inherit flags for inserted routes. It is not immediately clear what the design intention was for this; we should ensure that this is a sensible default.

This change was implemented due to #1841; the goal was to prevent issues with router prefixes inheriting nexthops for very broad routes on local nodes which could interfere with shortest path behavior. However, I'm unclear if this is a common occurrence in actual deployment.
