Add a new protocol offering route aggregation.
User can specify list of route attributes in the configuration file and
run route aggregation on the export side of the pipe protocol. Routes are
sorted and for every group of equivalent routes new route is created and
exported to the routing table. It is also possible to specify filter
which will run for every route before aggregation.
Furthermore, it will be possible to set attributes of new routes
according to attributes of the aggregated routes.
This is a work in progress.

This is a split-commit of the neighboring aggregator branch
with a bit improved lvalue handling, to have easier merge into v3.
Added a code for computing hash of filter values.

The new labeling policy MPLS_POLICY_VRF assigns one label to all routes
(from the same FEC map associated with one VRF), while replaces their
next hops with a lookup to a VRF table. This is useful for L3VPN
protocol.
When MPLS is active, received routes on MPLS-aware SAFIs (ipvX-mpls,
vpnX-mpls) are automatically labeled according to active label policy and
corresponding MPLS routes are automatically generated. Also routes sent
on MPLS-aware SAFIs announce local labels when it should be done.
When MPLS is active, static IP/VPN routes are automatically labeled
according to active label policy and corresponding MPLS routes are
automatically generated.
The MPLS subsystem manages MPLS labels and handles their allocation to
MPLS-aware routing protocols. These labels are then attached to IP or VPN
routes representing label switched paths -- LSPs.
There was already a preliminary MPLS support consisting of MPLS label
net_addr, MPLS routing tables with static MPLS routes, remote labels in
next hops, and kernel protocol support.
This patch adds the MPLS domain as a basic structure representing local
label space with dynamic label allocator and configurable label ranges.
To represent LSPs, allocated local labels can be attached as route
attributes to IP or VPN routes with local labels as attributes.
There are several steps for handling LSP routes in routing protocols --
deciding to which forwarding equivalence class (FEC) the LSP route
belongs, allocating labels for new FECs, announcing MPLS routes for new
FECs, attaching labels to LSP routes. The FEC map structure implements
basic code for managing FECs in routing protocols, therefore existing
protocols can be made MPLS-aware by adding FEC map and delegating
most work related to local label management to it.
In general, private_id is sparse and protocols may want to map some
internal values directly into it. For example, L3VPN needs to
map VPN route discriminators to private_id.
OTOH, u32 is enough for global_id, as these identifiers are dense.

Undefined paths and clists should use typed f_val with empty adata
instead of just void f_val. Use common initializer to handle both
variables and eattrs.
List of arguments for function calls is constructed in reverse and then
reverted. This was done in function_call grammar rule. Do the reverse
directly in var_list grammar rule. This fixes reverse order of arguments
in method calls.
- Extend method descriptors with type signature
- Daisy chain method descriptors for the same symbol
- Dispatch methods for same symbol based on type signature
- Split add/delete/filter operations to multiple methods
- Replace ad-hoc dispatch of old-style syntax with scope-based dispatch
- Also change method->arg_num to count initial arg
It still needs some improvements, like better handling of untyped
expressions and better error reporting when no dispatch can be done.
The multiple dispatch could also be extended to dispatch regular
function-like expressions in a uniform way.
