Subject: [PATCH] core: fix failure to configure routes due to wrong
 device-route for IPv4 peer-addresses

As in the case of a OpenVPN connection, we might add an address like:
  10.8.0.58/32 ptp 10.8.0.57

In this case, kernel would automatically add a device-route like:
  10.8.0.57/32 via 0.0.0.0 dev 32 metric 0 mss 0 src rtprot-kernel scope link pref-src 10.8.0.58

nm_ip4_config_commit() checks all IP addresses to figure out
the present device-routes. Then the routes are synced by NMRouteManager.
Due to a bug, we would not consider the peer-address, but the local-address
and configure a route 10.8.0.58/32, instead of 10.8.0.57/32.

That stays mostly unnoticed, because usually the peer and the local-address are
in the same subnet, so that there is no difference (/32 is an example of the
peer-address being in a different subnet).

It also seems that due to a bug fixed by df4e5357521 this issue didn't surface.
Probably because we would not notice the 10.8.0.57/32 right away and thus
nm_route_manager_ip4_route_sync() would not wrongly delete it.
