Fix NULL-pointer crash in route_list_add_vpn_gateway().

Add ASSERT() check to route_list_add_vpn_gateway() to ensure that *rl
is valid (and if not, crash with a somewhat more meaningful message than
"segmentation violation").  For the actual bugfix, change init code to
always allocate a "struct route_list" for IPv4, even if no --route options
have been seen in the config.

Fix trac#281 and trac#258.
