[c-nsp] Route-Object creation

[Daniel Holme]

Hi Andrew

If your ASN is public then you just need one route object with your
ASN in the 'origin' field.

You can check by doing a lookup with '-T route <prefix>'.

If your upstream is going to originate from their AS (ie. you had a
private AS or just statically routed) then they would need a route
object, maybe there's some confusion over what they think they are
providing you.
