Add a new socket option MCTP_OPT_ROUTE_SRCADDR that allows applications to query which local EID the kernel would use as the source address when sending to a given destination EID. Applications such as PLDM need to advertise a local EID as the event receiver address to remote endpoints. Previously this required a manual multi-step lookup via the mctp tool (route show + addr show). The kernel routing table is the authoritative source for this mapping, so expose it directly via a socket option. The caller fills in net and daddr in struct mctp_route_srcaddr before calling getsockopt(SOL_MCTP, MCTP_OPT_ROUTE_SRCADDR); the kernel performs the same route lookup used for actual packet output and returns the resolved local EID in saddr.
