TUN inbound: autoSystemDnsToGateway falls back to an IPv6 gateway on Linux

Without an IPv4 address in gateway, the system DNS now points at the
first IPv6 gateway plus one (e.g. fc00::1/64 -> fc00::2) instead of
nothing, and the routing check before the takeover accepts IPv6
addresses for it.

The README also says what each system does without gateway: Xray
assigns no address on Linux, Windows gives the TUN link-local ones
itself, and macOS and FreeBSD use 169.254.10.1/30.
