All the 'dump something' CLI commands now have a new mandatory
argument -- name of the file where to dump the data. This allows
for more flexible dumping even for production deployments where
the debug output is by default off.
Also the dump commands are now restricted (they weren't before)
to assure that only the appropriate users can run these time consuming
commands.
Adds ability to override time format of show commands for current CLI session
so that it does not depend on configuration and may ease parsing when CLI is
called from tools.

Some vendors do not fill the checksum for IPv6 UDP packets.
For interoperability with such implementations one can set
UDP_NO_CHECK6_RX socket option on Linux.
Thanks to Ville O for the suggestion.

According to RFC 5882, system should not interpret the local or remote
session state transition to AdminDown as failure. We followed that for
the local session state but not for the remote session state (which
just triggered a transition of the local state to Down). The patch
fixes that.
We do not properly generate AdminDown on our side, so the patch is
relevant just for interoperability with other systems.
Thanks to Sunnat Samadov for the bugreport.
Add BFD protocol option 'strict bind' to use separate listening socket
for each BFD interface bound to its address instead of using shared
listening sockets.
Direct BFD sessions needs to be dispatched not only by IP addresses, but
also by interfaces, in order to avoid collisions between neighbors with
the same IPv6 link-local addresses.
Extend BFD session hash_ip key by interface index to handle that. Use 0
for multihop sessions.
Thanks to Sebastian Hahn for the original patch.
BFD session options are configured per interface in BFD protocol. This
patch allows to specify them also per-request in protocols requesting
sessions (currently limited to BGP).
Most commands like 'show ospf neighbors' fail when protocol is not
specified and there are multiple instances of given protocol type.
This is annoying in BIRD 2, as many protocols have IPv4 and IPv6
instances. The patch changes that by showing output from all protocol
instances of appropriate type.
Note that the patch also removes terminating cli_msg() call from these
commands and moves it to the common iterating code.
The bfd_reconfigure_neighbors() returned after first reconfigured
neighbor instead of continuing with the next one.
Thanks to Winston Chen for the bugreport and a patch.
Protocol can have specified VRF, in such case it is restricted to a set
of ifaces associated with the VRF, otherwise it can use all interfaces.
The patch allows to specify VRF as 'default', in which case it is
restricted to a set of iface not associated with any VRF.
Implement BFD authentication (part of RFC 5880). Supports plaintext
passwords and cryptographic MD5 / SHA-1 authentication.
Based on former commit from Pavel Tvrdik
The patch adds support for channels, structures connecting protocols and
tables and handling most interactions between them. The documentation is
missing yet.
When a BFD session is removed while being scheduled for notification,
the session stays in notify list and is removed twice, which leads to
a strange crash after a while.
