[LARTC] how to remove rules

[Chris Bennett]

I've had the same problem.  I sorta wish there was an "ip rule flush" 
command that would leave only the default rules.

Anyway, what I do to prevent my rules from getting out of hand is every time 
I add a rule, I first delete the very same rule.  This prevents the 
duplicates, at least.

So every place in my script that I might have:

IP RULE ADD <some rule>

I place before it:

IP RULE DEL <some rule>

Works for me.
