Previously, when a child was promoted to a router role, the leader upon sending "Address Solicit Response" would clear cache entries associated with the child's old RLOC16. This commit modifies the code to retain these cache entries when the sender is a direct child of the leader. By retaining the cache entries, they can be associated with the promoted router's new RLOC16 when the Link Advertisement is received.
