Linux represents IPv6 ECMP routes as a sequence of unipath routes with
the same prefix. We have to translate between our representation (one
route with multipath next hop) and the Linux representation in both
directions.
Proper learning of alien IPv6 ECMP routes still not supported.
Thanks to Mikhail Sennikovskii for the original patch.
An interface reconfiguration may change both the hello and update
intervals. An update interval change is immediately put into effect,
while a hello interval change is not. This also updates the hello
interval immediately (if the new interval is shorter than the old one),
and sends a hello to notify peers of the change.

Ignore tentative IPv6 addresses and wait until finish of Duplicate
Address Detection (We got notification when an address is no longer
tentative) to avoid problems when protocols try to use interfaces
with tentative link-local addresses.
Based on patch from Jan Moskyto Matejka
We do not need to maintain feasibility distances for our own router
ID (we ignore the updates anyway). Not doing so makes the routes be
garbage collected sooner when export filters change.

When a route becomes infeasible it should not be kept as selected; this
is forbidden by section 3.6 of the RFC and prevents subsequent updates
from the same router ID from replacing it.

This makes BIRD send a wildcard retraction on all interfaces before
shutting down and right after starting up. This helps ensure that
neighbours will discard the announced routes as soon as possible,
rather than only after the normal timeout procedures.

An update with wildcard AE and infinite metric should be treated as a
global retraction of all prefixes announced by that neighbour, per
section 4.4.9 of the RFC. In addition, router ID and seqno in retraction
updates should be ignored. This reworks the handling of retractions and
adjusts the parser to handle all this correctly.

This updates the documentation to correctly mention Babel when protocols
are listed, and adds examples and route attribute documentation to the
Babel section of the docs.

Intervals are carried as 16-bit centisecond values, but kept internally
in 16-bit second values, which causes a potential for overflow. This adds
some checks to make sure this does not happen.

Although RFC 4271 does not forbid empty path segments, they are useless
and some implementations consider them invalid. It is clarified in RFC 7606,
specifying that AS_PATH with empty segment is considered malformed.
