This changes behaviour of rte_update() and rte_update2().
Formerly, the caller of rte_update2() took care of caching rta and
allocating rte; then rte_update2() freed the structures if it didn't use them.
Now rte_update2() does the permanent/global copies of rte+rta itself.
Allocation of rte+rta passed to rte_update2() is considered temporary
and the caller is also responsible to free these structures properly.
This is true for any kind of allocation: rte_update2() will always
allocate its own copy of the data passed (either really or just by
raising usecount in rta cache).
It is now possible (and in many protocols now used) to allocate rte+rta
on stack and pass them to rte_update(). It will deal with them correctly.

Release BIRD now and then let it flee
(use the melody of well-known Oh Freedom!)
BSD systems cannot use SO_DONTROUTE, because it does not work properly
with multicast packets (perhaps it tries to find iface based on multicast
group address). But we can use MSG_DONTROUTE sendmsg() flag for unicast
packets. Works on FreeBSD, is ignored on OpenBSD and is broken on NetBSD
(i guess due to integrated routing table and ARP table).
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().
Use full time precision to initialize random generator. The old
code was prone to initialize it to the same values in specific
circumstances (boot without RTC, multiple VMs starting at once).
This patch adds support for source-specific IPv6 routes to BIRD core.
This is based on Dean Luga's original patch, with the review comments
addressed. SADR support is added to network address parsing in confbase.Y
and to the kernel protocol on Linux.
Currently there is no way to mix source-specific and non-source-specific
routes (i.e., SADR tables cannot be connected to non-SADR tables).
Thanks to Toke Hoiland-Jorgensen for the original patch.

On Linux, setting the ToS will also set the priority and the range of
accepted values is quite limited (masked by 0x1e). Therefore, 0xc0 is
translated to a priority of 0, not something we want, overriding the
"7" priority which was set previously explicitely. To avoid that, just
move setting priority later in the code.
Thanks to Vincent Bernat for the patch.
A filter should log messages only if executed explicitly (e.g., during
route export or route import). When a filter is executed for technical
reasons (e.g., to establish whether a route was exported before), it
should run silently.
Old way to set direct routes is to use local IP as gateway, but that does
not work properly on newer FreeBSDs. Now we use sockaddr_dl containing
interface index as gateway.
The old timer interface is still kept, but implemented by new timers. The
plan is to switch from the old inteface to the new interface, then clean
it up.
