Nest: Fix several issues with pflags
There were some confusion about validity and usage of pflags, which
caused incorrect usage after some flags from (now removed) protocol-
specific area were moved to pflags.
We state that pflags:
- Are secondary data used by protocol-specific hooks
- Can be changed on an existing route (in contrast to copy-on-write
for primary data)
- Are irrelevant for propagation (not propagated when changed)
- Are specific to a routing table (not propagated by pipe)
The patch did these fixes:
- Do not compare pflags in rte_same(), as they may keep cached values
like BGP_REF_STALE, causing spurious propagation.
- Initialize pflags to zero in rte_get_temp(), avoid initialization in
protocol code, fixing at least two forgotten initializations (krt
and one case in babel).
- Improve documentation about pflags
