Review request for qpid, Gordon Sim and Ted Ross.


Description
-------

This change addresses 2 issues I found while using qpid-route to setup and 
inspect ssl federation routes:

1. It allows the source URL to use the amqps scheme and for this to be 
interpreted to use the ssl transport between the brokers.

2. It allows qpid-route itself to deal sensibly if it gets an amqps scheme from 
a broker during the "qpid-route route map" command.

I think the fix to 2. is a clear improvement over the previous behaviour as now 
qpid-route can at least try to contact the broker at the end of the URL (even 
if it won't always succeed due to authentication failure). Before it would 
always try to use the ssl port with a tcp transport which would almost never 
succeed (unless the broker was using multiplexed TCP/SSL).

It's not clear to me if the change to fix 1. is good or not. As it relies on 
the user understanding that that the Source URL is really the URL used by the 
destination to contact the source and so is the actual federation link. This is 
really not clear from the command itself. You can still use the --transport 
option to specify the protocol, so this is an additional way to specify the 
link.

So I'm seeking some confirmation (or not) that I should commit this change.
