Nest: Avoid spurious announcements triggered by filtered routes

When filtered routes (enabled by 'import keep filtered' option) are
updated, they trigger announcements by rte_announce(). For regular
channels (e.g. type RA_OPTIMAL or RA_ANY) such announcement is just
ignored, but in case of RA_ACCEPTED (BGP peer with 'secondary' option)
it just reannounces the old (and still valid) best route.

The patch ensures that such no-change is ignored even for these channels.
