This is part of the multithreading journey. The parser and lexer were
using loads of global variables and all of these are now packed into
struct cf_context and others.
Note that the config API has changed:
* cfg_alloc[zu]?(size) is now cf_alloc[zu]?(ctx, size)
* cf_error(msg, ...) is now cf_error(ctx, msg, ...)
* config_parse() and cli_parse() are now called differently
* there is a brand new CF_CTX section in *.Y files which participates
in struct cf_context construction
This is a fundamental change of an original (1999) concept of route
processing inside BIRD. During import/export, there was a temporary
ea_list created which was to be used instead of the another one inside
the route itself.
This led to some confusion, quirks, and strange filter code that handled
extended route attributes. Dropping it now.
The protocol interface has changed in an uniform way -- the
`struct ea_list *attrs` argument has been removed from store_tmp_attrs(),
import_control(), rt_notify() and get_route_info().
Add proper support for per-nexthop onlink flag in routes to handle next
hop addresses that are not covered by interface IP ranges. Supported by
kernel and static protocols.
Thanks to Vincent Bernat for the idea.
