Subject: [PATCH 1/6] AX.25: Add ax25_ntop implementation.

AX.25 addresses are based on Amateur radio callsigns followed by an SSID
like XXXXXX-SS where the callsign is up to 6 characters which are either
letters or digits and the SSID is a decimal number in the range 0..15.
Amateur radio callsigns are assigned by a country's relevant authorities
and are 3..6 characters though a few countries have assigned callsigns
longer than that.  AX.25 is not able to handle such longer callsigns.

Being based on HDLC AX.25 encodes addresses by shifting them one bit left
thus zeroing bit 0, the HDLC extension bit for all but the last bit of
a packet's address field but for our purposes here we're not considering
the HDLC extension bit that is it will always be zero.

Linux' internal representation of AX.25 addresses in Linux is very similar
to this on the on-air or on-the-wire format.  The callsign is padded to
6 octets by adding spaces, followed by the SSID octet then all 7 octets
are left-shifted by one byte.

This for example turns "LINUX-1" where the callsign is LINUX and SSID is 1
into 98:92:9c:aa:b0:40:02.
