Some tokens are both keywords and symbols. For now, we allow only
specific keywords to be redefined; in future, more of the keywords may
be added to this category.
The redefinable keywords must be specified in any .Y file as follows:
toksym: THE_KEYWORD ;
See proto/bgp/config.Y for an example.
Also dropped a lot of unused terminals.

Changes in internal API:
* Every route attribute must be defined as struct ea_class somewhere.
* Registration of route attributes known at startup must be done by
ea_register_init() from protocol build functions.
* Every attribute has now its symbol registered in a global symbol table
defined as SYM_ATTRIBUTE
* All attribute ID's are dynamically allocated.
* Attribute value custom formatting hook is defined in the ea_class.
* Attribute names are the same for display and filters, always prefixed
by protocol name.
Also added some unit testing code for filters with route attributes.

This commit removes the EAF_TYPE_* namespace completely and also for
route attributes, filter-based types T_* are used. This simplifies
fetching and setting route attributes from filters.
Also, there is now union bval which serves as an universal value holder
instead of private unions held separately by eattr and filter code.

Before this change, fetch-update-write and bitmasking was hardcoded in
attribute access code cased by the attribute type. Several filter
instructions are used to do it instead.
As this is certainly going to be a little bit slower than before, the
switch block in attribute access code should be completely removed in
near future, helping with both performance and code cleanliness.
The user interface should have stayed intact.

Add option 'netlink rx buffer' to specify netlink socket receive buffer
size. Uses SO_RCVBUFFORCE, so it can override rmem_max limit.
Thanks to Trisha Biswas and Michal for the original patches.

This is a major change of how the filters are interpreted. If everything
works how it should, it should not affect you unless you are hacking the
filters themselves.
Anyway, this change should make a huge improvement in the filter performance
as previous benchmarks showed that our major problem lies in the
recursion itself.
There are also some changes in nest and protocols, related mostly to
spreading const declarations throughout the whole BIRD and also to
refactored dynamic attribute definitions. The need of these came up
during the whole work and it is too difficult to split out these
not-so-related changes.

Add a new route attribute, krt_scope, to expose the Linux kernel route
scope. Constants from /etc/iproute2/rt_scopes (prefixed by "ips_") are
expected to be used with the attribute. Both import and export are
supported.
Also, the patch fixes device route export to the kernel, by setting link
scope automatically.

Kernel routes with different metrics do not clash with each other,
therefore using dedicated metric value is a reliable way to avoid
overwriting routes from other sources (e.g. kernel device routes).
Although kernel route metric could already be set as a route attribute by
filters, that is not consistent with the way how Linux kernel handles
route metric - not just a route attribute, but a part of a route key.

Since 2.6.19, the netlink API defines RTA_TABLE routing attribute to
allow 32-bit routing table IDs. Using this attribute to index routing
tables at Linux, instead of 8-bit rtm_table field.

Linux kernel route metrics (RTA_METRICS netlink route attribute) are
represented and accessible as new route attributes:
krt_mtu, krt_window, krt_rtt, krt_rttvar, krt_sstresh, krt_cwnd, krt_advmss,
krt_reordering, krt_hoplimit, krt_initcwnd, krt_rto_min, krt_initrwnd,
krt_quickack, krt_lock_mtu, krt_lock_window, krt_lock_rtt, krt_lock_rttvar,
krt_lock_sstresh, krt_lock_cwnd, krt_lock_advmss, krt_lock_reordering,
krt_lock_hoplimit, krt_lock_rto_min, krt_feature_ecn, krt_feature_allfrag
