BGP: Extend 'next hop keep' and 'next hop self' options

Browse source 
Extend 'next hop keep' and 'next hop self' options to have boolean values
(enabled / disabled) and also values 'ibgp'/ 'ebgp' to restrict it to
routes received from IBGP / EBGP. This allows to have it enabled by
default in some cases, matches features of other implementations, and
allows to handle some strange cases like EBGP border router with 'next
hop self' also doing IBGP route reflecting.

Change default of 'next hop keep' to enabled for route servers, and
'ibgp' for route reflectors.

Update documentation for these options.

Do not modify the Next Hop attribute and advertise the current one
unchanged even in cases where our own local address should be used
instead. This is necessary when the BGP speaker does not forward network
traffic (route servers and some route reflectors) and also can be useful
in some other cases (e.g. multihop EBGP sessions). Can be enabled for
all routes, or just for routes received from IBGP / EBGP neighbors.
Default: disabled for regular BGP, enabled for route servers,
<cf/ibgp/ for route reflectors.
<tag><label id="bgp-next-hop-self">next hop self</tag>
Avoid calculation of the Next Hop attribute and always advertise our own
source address as a next hop. This needs to be used only occasionally to
circumvent misconfigurations of other routers. Default: disabled.
<tag><label id="bgp-next-hop-self">next hop self <m/switch/|ibgp|ebgp</tag>
Always advertise our own local address as a next hop, even in cases
where the current Next Hop attribute should be used unchanged. This is
sometimes used for routes propagated from EBGP to IBGP when IGP routing
does not cover inter-AS links, therefore IP addreses of EBGP neighbors
are not resolvable through IGP. Can be enabled for all routes, or just
for routes received from IBGP / EBGP neighbors. Default: disabled.

Avoid calculation of the Next Hop attribute and always advertise this address
as a next hop.
Specify which address to use when our own local address should be
announced in the Next Hop attribute. Default: the source address of the
BGP session (if acceptable), or the preferred address of an associated
interface.
