Log:
  MFC r342904:
  
  route(8): clarify -prefixlen description
  
  Try to reword -prefixlen section to more clearly and accurately describe how
  the -prefixlen modifier works.
  
  While here, fix a word that igor considered a typo: aggregatable addresses is a
  valid technical term per RFC-2374, however, it was superseded by the term
  "aggregator" in RFC-3587.
