This commit removes the EAF_TYPE_* namespace completely and also for
route attributes, filter-based types T_* are used. This simplifies
fetching and setting route attributes from filters.
Also, there is now union bval which serves as an universal value holder
instead of private unions held separately by eattr and filter code.
Before this change, fetch-update-write and bitmasking was hardcoded in
attribute access code cased by the attribute type. Several filter
instructions are used to do it instead.
As this is certainly going to be a little bit slower than before, the
switch block in attribute access code should be completely removed in
near future, helping with both performance and code cleanliness.
The user interface should have stayed intact.
After switching to 16-way tries, trie format ignored unaligned / internal
prefixes and only reported the primary prefix of a trie node.
Fix trie format by showing internal prefixes based on the 'local' bitmask
of a node. Also do basic (intra-node) reconstruction of prefix patterns
by finding common subtrees in 'local' bitmask.
In future, we could improve that by doing inter-node reconstruction, so
prefixes entered as one pattern for a subtree (e.g. 192.168.0.0/18+)
would be reported as such, like with aligned prefixes.
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.

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

For convenience, Trie functions generally accept as input values not only
NET_IPx types of nets, but also NET_VPNx and NET_ROAx types. But returned
values are always NET_IPx types.
The prefix trie now supports longest-prefix-match query by function
trie_match_longest_ipX() and it can be extended to iteration over all
covering prefixes for a given prefix (from longest to shortest) using
TRIE_WALK_TO_ROOT_IPx() macro.
Channels have now included rt_import_req and rt_export_req to hook into
the table instead of just one list node. This will (in future) allow for:
* channel import and export bound to different tables
* more efficient pipe code (dropping most of the channel code)
* conversion of 'show route' to a special kind of export
* temporary static routes from CLI
The import / export states are also updated to the new algorithms.
Trie walking allows enumeration of prefixes in a trie in the usual
lexicographic order. Optionally, trie enumeration can be restricted
to a chosen subnet (and its descendants).
Routes are now allocated only when they are just to be inserted to the
table. Updating a route needs a locally allocated route structure.
Ownership of the attributes is also now not transfered from protocols to
tables and vice versa but just borrowed which should be easier to handle
in a multithreaded environment.
Add trie tests intended as benchmarks that use external datasets
instead of generated prefixes. As datasets are not included, they
are commented out by default.
Use 16-way (4bit) branching in prefix trie instead of basic binary
branching. The change makes IPv4 prefix sets almost 3x faster, but
with more memory consumption and much more complicated algorithm.
Together with a previous filter change, it makes IPv4 prefix sets
about ~4.3x faster and slightly smaller (on my test data).
For numeric operators, comma is used for disjunction in expressions like
"10, 20, 30..40". But for bitmask operators, comma is used for
conjunction in a way that does not really make much sense. Use always
explicit logical operators (&& and ||) to connect bitmask operators.

Add support to set or read outgoing MPLS labels using filters. Currently
this supports the addition of one label per route for the first next hop.
Minor changes by committer.
Broken detection of top-level case caused crash when return was called
from top-of-stack position. It should behave as reject/accept.
Thanks to Damian Zaremba for the bugreport.
Add 'weight' route attribute that allows to get and set ECMP weight of
nexthops. Similar to 'gw' attribute, it is limited to the first nexthop,
but it is useful for handling BGP multipath, where an ECMP route is
merged from multiple regular routes.
