tipc: introduce ioctl for fetching node identity
After the introduction of a 128-bit node identity it may be difficult for a user to correlate between this identity and the generated node hash address. We now try to make this easier by introducing a new ioctl() call for fetching a node identity by using the hash value as key. This will be particularly useful when we extend some of the commands in the 'tipc' tool, but we also expect regular user applications to need this feature.
