1) Imports ENCAP_MPLS labels from IPv4/IPv6 routes.
Note that this requires libnl 3.6.0 or newer.
In previous patches, the fib_path_ext_t had a path ID of -1.
After a long investigation, it turned out to be caused by route weight
being set to 0. There is a comment explaining more details.
2) Handles MPLS routes.
MPLS routes were wrongly added as IPv4 routes before.
POP and SWAP are now both supported.
All the routes are installed as NON-EOS and EOS routes,
as the Linux kernel does not differentiate.
EOS POP used in PHP uses the next-hop address family
to determine the resulting address family.
This patch is sufficient for P setups.
PE setups with implicit null should also function okay, as long as a
seperate label gets programmed per address family.
PE setups with explicit null will also forward packets,
but punting is a bit odd and needs MPLS input enabled on the LCP host
device.
3) Propagate MPLS input state to LCP Pair and Linux.
Since the Linux kernel uses the MPLS routes itself,
the LCP pair tap needs MPLS enabled to allow host originated packets.
This also syncs the Linux `net.mpls.conf.<host_if>.input` sysctl to
allow punted packets to have MPLS labels, mostly explicit nulls.
In addition, a special feature is enabled to cross connect MPLS packets
coming from Linux directly to interface-output untouched.
Make sure to enable MPLS/add a table in VPP first and load the
MPLS kernel modules!!
