I worked on a case there wasn't documentation on these other default routes therefore I added more default routes. I also added a sentence at the end of the "None" paragraph to explain that changing the default 0.0.0.0/0 "none" next hop will be removed.

Pull request overview

This PR enhances the documentation for Azure virtual network default routes by adding four previously undocumented default system routes and clarifying the behavior when the default route is modified.

  • Added four new default routes: 157.59.0.0/16, 127.0.0.0/8, 104.147.0.0/16, and 104.146.0.0/17
  • Clarified that setting a default route (0.0.0.0/0) with next hop type "Virtual Network Gateway" removes default system routes with next hop type "None"

* **100.64.0.0/10**: Reserved in RFC 6598.

If you assign any of the previous address ranges within the address space of a virtual network, Azure automatically changes the next hop type for the route from **None** to **Virtual network**. If you assign an address range to the address space of a virtual network that includes, but isn't the same as, one of the four reserved address prefixes, Azure removes the route for the prefix and adds a route for the address prefix you added, with **Virtual network** as the next hop type.

The reference to 'four reserved address prefixes' is now inaccurate since eight default routes with next hop type 'None' are now documented (the original four RFC ranges plus the four newly added routes). This reference should be updated to accurately reflect the total number of reserved address prefixes or be rephrased to avoid a specific count.
