Bugfix
Program crashed when disabling aggregation protocol or shutting the daemon down.
Shutdown procedure attempted to remove the first route (which is the last that
was inserted) by different key than one by which it was inserted into the table.
They key is computed from net and src of each route. It turned out that src of
the last route was inadvertently changed.

Bugfix
Due to wrong cast of void pointer, pointers to potential buckets
were compared and eventually sorted in wrong order, thus assigning
wrong buckets to trie nodes.
This caused some trie nodes to stay in trie even though they should
have been removed. Consequently, trie contained superfluos prefixes
after the algorithm finished.
Since pointers were never dereferenced, only compared by their numeric
values in the comparator function, program did not crash (even though
pointers could be NULL because of the incorrect cast to double pointer
and single dereference).

Basic route aggregation
User can specify list of route attributes in the configuration file
and run route aggregation on the export side of the pipe protocol.
Routes are sorted and for every group of equivalent routes
new route is created and exported to the routing table.
It is also possible to specify filter which will run for every
route before aggregation.
Furthermore, it will be possible to set attributes of new routes
according to attributes of the aggregated routes.

Filter: Methods rework
Methods can now be called as x.m(y), as long as x can have its type
inferred in config time. If used as a command, it modifies the object,
if used as a value, it keeps the original object intact.
Also functions add(x,y), delete(x,y), filter(x,y) and prepend(x,y) now
spit a warning and are considered deprecated.
It's also possible to call a method on a constant, see filter/test.conf
for examples like bgp_path = +empty+.prepend(1).
Inside instruction definitions (filter/f-inst.c), a METHOD_CONSTRUCTOR()
call is added, which registers the instruction as a method for the type
of its first argument. Each type has its own method symbol table and
filter parser switches between them based on the inferred type of the
object calling the method.
Also FI_CLIST_(ADD|DELETE|FILTER) instructions have been split to allow
for this method dispatch. With type inference, it's now possible.
This adds support to the Babel protocol for the RTT extension specified
in draft-ietf-babel-rtt-extension. While this extension is not yet at the
RFC stage, it is one of the more useful extensions to Babel[0], so it
seems worth having in Bird as well.
The extension adds timestamps to Hello and IHU TLVs and uses these to
compute an RTT to each neighbour. An extra per-neighbour cost is then
computed from the RTT based on a minimum and maximum interval and cost
value specified in the configuration. The primary use case for this is
improving routing in a geographically distributed tunnel-based overlay
network.
The implementation follows the babeld implementation when picking
constants and default configuration values. It also uses the same RTT
smoothing algorithm as babeld, and follows it in adding a new 'tunnel'
interface type which enables RTT by default.
IO: Add current_time_now() function for immediate timestamp
Add a current_time_now() function which gets an immediate monotonic
timestamp instead of using the cached value from the event loop. This is
useful for callers that need precise times, such as the Babel RTT
measurement code.

BGP: Fix role check when no capability option is present
When an OPEN message without capability options was parsed, the remote
role field was not initialized with the proper (non-zero) default value,
so it was interpreted as if 'provider' was announced.
