This commit is quite a substantial rework of the underlying layers in
BMP TX:
- several unnecessary layers of indirection dropped, including most of
the original BMP's buffer machinery
- all messages are now written directly into one protocol's buffer
allocated for the whole time big enough to fit every possible message
- output blocks are allocated by pages and immediately returned when
used, improving the overall memory footprint
- no intermediary allocation is done from the heap altogether
- there is a documented and configurable limit on the TX queue size
We shouldn't convert bytes 2 and 3 of the PDU blindly, there are several
cases where these are used by bytes. Instead, the conversion is done
only where needed.
This fixes misinterpretation bug of ASPA PDU flags on little endian
architectures.
The strcmp function is not guaranteed to return -1 or +1
but any negative or positive value if the input strings
are different. Fixed the false assumption which triggered
a build bug on emulated arm64.
The patch initializes logging in unit tests. Previously, unit tests did
not initialize logging and other subsystems, just resources. But
resource_init() could under certain circumstances trigger logging and
cause crash.
The bug was Found by Jakub Ruzicka, dissected by David Petera and Maria
Matejka, disguised as failing build for Debian arm64 in pbuilder
emulation which did not like disabling THP.
Fixes#42.
The END_OF_DATA PDU was extended in version 1, so it has different length
in different versions. We should do the PDU length check according to its
version.
Adds ability to override time format of show commands for current CLI session
so that it does not depend on configuration and may ease parsing when CLI is
called from tools.

The original algorithm assumed principles not consistent with the RFC
and could have lead to false invalids.
Also added filter tests showing also how the ASPA literals are used in
the static protocol.
Enum types existed on semantic level, but not on syntactic level,
so they could not be used in filter code.
Generate filter grammar for enum types based on CF_ENUM() declarations.
Thanks to lbz for the bugreport.
Current implementation handles flowspec prefix length and offset only
in bytes, but RFC 8956 (Dissemination of Flow Specification Rules for
IPv6) Section 3.1 [1] and example in Section 3.8.2 [2] states the
pattern should begin right after offset *bits*.
For example, pattern "::1:1234:5678:9800:0/60-104" is currently
serialized as "02 68 3c 01 12 34 56 78 98", but it should shift its
pattern 4 more bits to the left: "02 68 3c 11 23 45 67 89 80".
This patch implements shifting left/right for IPv6 type and use it to
correct the behaviour. Test data are replaced with the correct ones.

Unify grammar for set_atom and switch_atom to avoid inconsistencies
between them. Fix errors in documentation related to case statement
and set type. Change 'vpnrd' to 'rd' to be consistent with the filter
language.

RPKI-To-Router (RTR) sessions seem to be similar security-sensitivity as
IBGP sessions. BIRD already offered a choice of either "plain TCP" (meh)
or "SSH" (secure, albeit a bit more hassle to set up than TCP-MD5).
The patch adds TCP-MD5 as another option. TCP-MD5 for RTR is specified
through RFC 6810 section 7.3 and RFC 8210 section 9.3.

Introduced in 08ff0af898, the additional CLI
configuration wasn't properly initialized in the parse-and-exit mode
due to an oversight that cli_init_unix() is not called in this mode.
Thanks to Felix Friedlander for the bugreport.
The period of recurent timers was stored in 32b field, despite it was
btime-compatible value in us. Therefore, it was limited to ~72 min,
which mas okay for most purposes, except configurable MRT dump periods.

The socket structure has the field rbsize (receive buffer size), which
controls the size of the userspace receive buffer. There is also kernel
receive buffer, which in some cases may be smaller (e.g. on FreeBSD it
is by default ~8k). The patch ensures that the kernel receive buffer is
as large as the userspace receive buffer.
When VRFs are used, BIRD correctly binds listening (and connecting)
sockets to their VRFs but also re-binds accepted sockets to the same VRF.
This is not needed as the interface bind is inherited in this case, and
indeed this redundant bind causes an -EPERM if BIRD is running as
non-root making BIRD close the connection and reject the peer.
Thanks to Christian Svensson for the original patch and Alexander Zubkov
for suggestions.
This allows to have one main socket for the heavy operations
very restricted just for the appropriate users, whereas the
looking glass socket may be more open.
Implemented an idea originally submitted and requested by Akamai.
Some vendors do not fill the checksum for IPv6 UDP packets.
For interoperability with such implementations one can set
UDP_NO_CHECK6_RX socket option on Linux.
Thanks to Ville O for the suggestion.
