Support other operating systems beyond Linux

[amotl]

Hi there,

pyroute2 [1] is a great library to be able to grow beyond net-tools [2]. However, it only supports mainly Linux, see also svinota/pyroute2#437. So, we might want to figure out a way to either bring support for macOS and Windows to pyroute2 or find a different solution.

With kind regards,
Andreas.
