Currently, BIRD ignores dead routes to consider them absent. But it also
ignores its own routes and thus it can not correctly manage such routes
in some cases. This patch makes an exception for routes with proto bird
when ignoring dead routes, so they can be properly updated or removed.
Thanks to Alexander Zubkov for the original patch.
Lexer expression for bytestring was too loose, accepting also
full-length IPv6 addresses. It should be restricted such that
colon is used between every byte or never.
Fix the regex and also add some test cases for it.
Thanks to Alexander Zubkov for the bugreport
Add operators .min and .max to find minumum or maximum element in sets
of types: clist, eclist, lclist. Example usage:
bgp_community.min
bgp_ext_community.max
filter(bgp_large_community, [(as1, as2, *)]).min

The BSD kernel does not support the onlink flag and BIRD does not use
direct routes for next hop validation, instead depends on interface
address ranges. We would like to handle PtMP cases with only host
addresses configured, like:
ifconfig wg0 192.168.0.10/32
route add 192.168.0.4 -iface wg0
route add 192.168.0.8 -iface wg0
To accept BIRD routes with onlink next-hop, like:
route 192.168.42.0/24 via 192.168.0.4%wg0 onlink
BIRD would dismiss the route when receiving from the kernel, as the
next-hop 192.168.0.4 is not part of any interface subnet and onlink
flag is not kept by the BSD kernel.
The commit fixes this by assuming that for routes received from the
kernel, any next-hop is onlink on ifaces with only host addresses.
Thanks to Stefan Haller for the original patch.
RFC 6810 and RFC 8210 specify that the "Max Length" value MUST NOT be
less than the Prefix Length element (underflow). On the other side,
overflow of the Max Length element also is possible, it being an 8-bit
unsigned integer allows for values larger than 32 or 128. This also
implicitly ensures there is no overflow of "Length" value.
When a PDU is received where the Max Length field is corrputed, the RTR
client (BIRD) should immediately terminate the session, flush all data
learned from that cache, and log an error for the operator.

Compare all IA_* flags that are set by sysdep iface code.
The old code ignores IA_SECONDARY flag when comparing whether iface
address updates from kernel changed anything. This is usually not an
issue as kernel removes all secondary addresses due to removal of the
primary one, but it breaks when sysctl 'promote_secondaries' is enabled
and kernel promotes secondary addresses to primary ones.
Thanks to 'Alexander' for the bugreport.
