    Re-think a very old idea in assign - that no_connect violations for
    unmapped links should not be assessed against links whose endpoints are
    not mapped. The problem with this is that assign is too hesitant to map
    nodes - if there is more than one link that can't be mapped or whose
    other end isn't mapped yet, then assign thinks it's better to leave the
    node unmapped. This leads to confusing solutions (in which nodes remain
    unmapped when really it's the links that are the problem), and I beleive
    it keeps assign from exploring valuable parts of the solution space.
    
    This patch chanes the behavior, so that no_connect violations get scored
    even when the endpoints of the link are not mapped.
    
    Not well enough tested to run in production.
