wgengine/router: probe generally-unused "ip" command style lazily

This busybox fwmaskWorks check was added before we moved away from
using the "ip" command to using netlink directly.

So it's now just wasted work (and log spam on Gokrazy) to check the
"ip" command capabilities if we're never going to use it.

Do it lazily instead.

Updates #12277
