initscripts: Configure output device in routes

Browse source 
Without an explicit output device, the kernel might use a different
output device than intended by the user. Therefore, use the interface
name of connections to specify it if it is available. Otherwise,
educate the user about this potential problem with a warning. This
aligns the behavior with NetworkManager which configures the output
device in routes when activating profiles on devices.
