[aprssig] UIFLOOD dual-dupes?

I've noticed that Kenwood radios do indeed digipeat their own originated 
packets if they hear the packet back from another digipeater with a 
configure path component still not consumed.  I agree that this is 
really foolish operation, but that's the way I've observed it happening.

Of course, with dupe detection in the APRS-IS, you really only see this 
on RF and only if you're in earshot of the Kenwood digipeater.
