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.
Original work by Igor Putovny, subsequent cleanups and finalization by
Maria Matejka.
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.

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.
Methods can now be called as x.m(y), as long as x can have its type
inferred in config time. If used as a command, it modifies the object,
if used as a value, it keeps the original object intact.
Also functions add(x,y), delete(x,y), filter(x,y) and prepend(x,y) now
spit a warning and are considered deprecated.
It's also possible to call a method on a constant, see filter/test.conf
for examples like bgp_path = +empty+.prepend(1).
Inside instruction definitions (filter/f-inst.c), a METHOD_CONSTRUCTOR()
call is added, which registers the instruction as a method for the type
of its first argument. Each type has its own method symbol table and
filter parser switches between them based on the inferred type of the
object calling the method.
Also FI_CLIST_(ADD|DELETE|FILTER) instructions have been split to allow
for this method dispatch. With type inference, it's now possible.
This is a backport cherry-pick of commits
165156beebcce974e8ea
from the v3.0 branch as we need symbol hashes directly inside their
scopes for more general usage than before.
According to RFC 5882, system should not interpret the local or remote
session state transition to AdminDown as failure. We followed that for
the local session state but not for the remote session state (which
just triggered a transition of the local state to Down). The patch
fixes that.
We do not properly generate AdminDown on our side, so the patch is
relevant just for interoperability with other systems.
Thanks to Sunnat Samadov for the bugreport.
Most syntactic constructs in BIRD configuration (e.g. protocol options)
are defined as keywords, which are distinct from symbols (user-defined
names for protocols, variables, ...). That may cause backwards
compatibility issue when a new feature is added, as it may collide with
existing user names.
We can allow keywords to be shadowed by symbols in almost all cases to
avoid this issue.
This replaces the previous mechanism, where shadowable symbols have to be
explictly added to kw_syms.
