feat: add CWS endpoint to get routing devices & tielines together

* visualizeroutes allows visualizing configured routes based on tielines and signal type
  * can be filtered by source key, destination key, and type, along with partial matches for source & destination keys
* visualizecurrentroutes visualizes what Essentials says is currently routed by type
  * uses same filtering as visualizeroutes
* improvements to how the routing algorithm works
