Added a code for computing hash of filter values.
This is a split-commit of the neighboring aggregator branch
with improved lvalue and attribute handling.
Some [redacted] (yes, myself) had a really bad idea
to rename nest/route.h to nest/rt.h while refactoring
some data structures out of it.
This led to unnecessarily complex problems with
merging updates from v2. Reverting this change
to make my life a bit easier.
At least it needed only one find-sed command:
find -name '*.[chlY]' -type f -exec sed -i 's#nest/rt.h#nest/route.h#' '{}' +
This merge was particularly difficult. I finally resorted to delete the
symbol scope active flag altogether and replace its usage by other
means.
Also I had to update custom route attribute registration to fit
both the scope updates in v2 and the data model in v3.

Keywords and attributes are split to separate namespaces, to avoid
collisions between regular keyword use and attribute overlay.
There are now 3 different pools with specific lifetime. All of these are
available since protocol start, anyway they get freed in different
moments.
First, pool_up gets freed immediately after announcing PS_STOP, to e.g.
stop all timers and events regularly updating the routing table when the
imports are already flushing.
Then, pool_inloop gets freed just before the protocol loop is finally
stopped, after all channels, imports and exports and other hooks are
cleaned up.
And finally, the pool itself is freed the last. Unless you explicitly
need the early free, use this pool.
For whatever reason, parser allocated a symbol for every parsed keyword
in each scope. That wasted time and memory. The effect is worsened with
recent changes allowing local scopes, so keywords often promote soft
scopes (with no symbols) to real scopes.
Do not allocate a symbol for a keyword. Take care of keywords that could
be promoted to symbols (kw_sym) and do it explicitly.
The symbol table used just symbol name as a key, and used a trick with
active flag to find symbols in active scopes with one hash table lookup.
The disadvantage is that it can degenerate to O(n) for negative queries
in situations where are many symbols with the same name in different
scopes.
Thanks to Yanko Kaneti for the bugreport.
If the protocol supports route refresh on export, we keep the stop-start
method of route refeed. This applies for BGP with ERR or with export
table on, for OSPF, Babel, RIP or Pipe.
For BGP without ERR or for future selective ROA reloads, we're adding an
auxiliary export request, doing the refeed while the main export request
is running, somehow resembling the original method of BIRD 2 refeed.
There is also a refeed request queue to keep track of different refeed
requests.
