Subject: [PATCH] [AX25] [ROSE] rose_get_route()

This patch offers a new function named rose_get_route(), called
by rose_route_frame() in order to find a route each time a packet must be routed toward a specific address handled by one of the adjacent nodes in a list.

It returns the address of the adjacent node if it is connected, otherwise it returns a NULL. In that case, the calling function will initiate a new connection as before, when it was calling rose_get_neigh().

This function has been tested for months now and it works fine. It adds a fast automatic frame routing mechanism from nodes to nodes, while identifaction of packets remains all along with callsigns of calling and destination AX25 stations.
