[c-nsp] Dump full route table to a file

[john heasley]

If you have RANCID, you can use clogin to collect the RIB.

	clogin -c 'show ip bgp' router > file

This is actually what route-views uses now, wrapped by a perl script
to compress the file and other misc. handling.  It has proven to be
more reliable than the original script.
