Better handling of too long attributes
This patch extends the length for attributes from 1024 to 2048 (because both AS_PATH and AS4_PATH attributes take 2+4 B per AS). If there is not enough space for attributes, Bird skips that route group. Old behavior (skipping remaining attributes) leads to skipping required attributes and session drop.
