    Create a route to send traffic destined to the Internet through your
    gateway instance
    credential_file : string
        File location of application default credential. For more information,
        refer: https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/application-default-credentials
    project_id : string
        Project ID where instance and network resides.
    name : string
        name of the route to create
    next_hop_instance : string
        the name of an instance that should handle traffic matching this route.
    instance_zone : string
        zone where instance("next_hop_instance") resides
    network : string
        Specifies the network to which the route will be applied.
    dest_range : string
        The destination range of outgoing packets that the route will apply to.
    tags : list
        (optional) Identifies the set of instances that this route will apply to.
    priority : int
        (optional) Specifies the priority of this route relative to other routes.
        default=1000
    CLI Example:
    .. code-block:: bash
        salt 'salt-master.novalocal' gcp.route_create
            credential_file=/root/secret_key.json
            project_id=cp100-170315
            name=derby-db-route1
            next_hop_instance=instance-1
            instance_zone=us-central1-a
            network=default
            dest_range=0.0.0.0/0
            tags=['no-ip']
            priority=700
    In above example, the instances which are having tag "no-ip" will route the
    packet to instance "instance-1"(if packet is intended to other network)
