nl_route_add() recently started to use its optional argument to check
whether replace flag is set for the message. When notification messages
are processed, the argument is a pointer to the corresponding message
info. However, when dump replies are processed, the argument is a null
pointer. This leads to null pointer dereference and crash when dump of
routes is processed.
With this fix, check for replace flag only if message info was passed
to nl_route_add(). Otherwise, assume the flag is not set. Dump replies
do not have it set.

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!!

Linux uses NLM_F_REPLACE in the netlink message to signal a FIB update
The code invariably does a FIB update for IPv4 and a addition for IPv6.
Without this fix, the following:
ip route add 2001:db8::/48 via 2001:db8::1
ip route replace 2001:db8::/48 via 2001:db8::2
ends up as two separate FIB entries in VPP. With the fix, there will be one FIB entry (the second one with nexthop ::2).

The plugin creates and manages adjacencies for the physical interface in
each interface pair (they are part of the x-connect feature). When a
link update notification is received from the host system, MAC address
of the corresponding physical interface is updated (as needed) as well
as previously created adjacencies for it (because a new rewrite string
needs to be generated).
Subinterfaces inherit MAC address from the parent interface. When MAC
address of the parent interface changes, it also implies MAC address
change for its subinterfaces. The problem is that this is currently not
considered in the plugin. After MAC address update on the parent
interface, packets sent from subinterfaces might have wrong source MAC
address. For example, IPv6 Neighbor Solicitation messages will be sent
with the wrong (previous) MAC address and neighbor discovery will fail.
With this fix, when the plugin updates adjacencies for a physical
interface, it will also update adjacencies for the subinterfaces with
existing interface pair.

RTA_VIA allows routes to have a next-hop in a different address family.
This commit makes linux-cp import those types of routes correctly,
instead of importing the routes without a gateway.
This uses rtnl_route_nh_get_gateway, which is available since libnl
3.4.0 (Oct. 9, 2017). Even Debian Stretch has it via backports.

Creation of LCP will return garbled host_sw_if_index of the newly
created TAP interface.
Example PAPI code:
```
lcp_add = vpp.api.lcp_itf_pair_add_del_v2(is_add=True, sw_if_index=17,
host_if_type=VppEnum.vl_api_lcp_itf_host_type_t.LCP_API_ITF_HOST_TAP,
host_if_name="loop0", netns="dataplane")
print(lcp_add)
lcp_ret = vpp.api.lcp_itf_pair_get()
print(lcp_ret)
```
Before, the returned host_sw_if_index has the wrong endianness:
VPP version is 23.02-rc0~212-gf06a518f8
lcp_itf_pair_add_del_v2_reply(_0=103, context=2, retval=0, host_sw_if_index=301989888)
(lcp_itf_pair_get_reply(_0=105, context=3, retval=0, cursor=4294967295),[lcp_itf_pair_details(_0=106, context=3, phy_sw_if_index=17, host_sw_if_index=18, vif_index=594, host_if_name='loop0', host_if_type=<vl_api_lcp_itf_host_type_t.LCP_API_ITF_HOST_TAP: 0>, netns='dataplane')])
After, it is correctly showing idx 18:
VPP version is 23.02-rc0~212-gf06a518f8
lcp_itf_pair_add_del_v2_reply(_0=103, context=2, retval=0, host_sw_if_index=18)

Currently, the plugin can monitor link state changes on hardware
interfaces for which a linux-cp pair exists. When the link goes down on
one of the hardware interfaces, the plugin processes IPv4 routes that
resolve through that interface according to the configurations:
del-static-on-link-down and del-dynamic-on-link-down.
The problem is that link state changes are not signaled for
subinterfaces and the code that handles IPv4 routes is not triggered.
When the link on a hardware interface goes down, it implies
that subinterfaces added to that interface also will have the link in
the down state.
With this change, when the link goes down on a hardware interface,
iterate over subinterfaces added to the interface and apply the same
logic of routes processing as for hardware interfaces.

lcp_router_table_flush() is used to remove routes from the given route
table if they are resolved through the given interface with specified
FIB source. Currently, if you need to remove routes from a route table
that are resolved through one of the interfaces from a vector, the
function has to be executed for every interface from the vector. Every
execution walks the route table again.
With this change, lcp_router_table_flush() accepts a vector of
interfaces. Thus, the function can walk a single route table once and
delete routes that resolve through one of the interfaces from the
vector.

Currently, when the link goes down on an interface, routes that resolve
through that interface and created with Nexthop API are removed by the
kernel. However, IPv4 routes remain in the FIB because the kernel
doesn't send any notifications about that.
And for the plugin working with user-space applications that create
routes in the kernel using Nexthop API there should be a mechanism to
synchronize the FIB and the kernel in this case.
With this change, add two new startup configuration options to the
plugin to be able to control what should happen with static and dynamic
routes managed by the plugin on link down:
- del-static-on-link-down (disabled by default, delete routes created
with the linux-cp static FIB source on link down),
- del-dynamic-on-link-down (disabled by default, delete routes created
with the linux-cp dynamic FIB source on link down).
Then, monitor link state changes on interfaces for which a linux-cp pair
exists. If the link goes down on one of the interfaces, process routes
that resolve through that interface according to the new configurations.

Type: fix
Currently, a tap interface created to be a member of a linux-cp pair has
default link state (down) and default link speed (10Mb/s). Then the
plugin monitors the link state of the paired hardware interface and if
it changes, the new link state is reflected on the tap interface. And
when the new link state is "up", the link speed is also reflected on the
tap interface.
The problem is that this scheme implies that the hardware interface's
link state is "down" at the moment of the linux-cp pair creation and
then changes. But there are cases when the link state is already "up" at
that moment. If that is the case, the link speed on the tap interface
will remain the default one until the link comes down and then comes up.
With this fix, when a linux-cp pair is created, reflect current link
state of the hardware interface being paired on the created tap
interface.

Part 1 -- notes in https://ipng.ch/s/articles/2021/08/13/vpp-2.html
Add the ability for VPP to copy out (sync) its state from the dataplane
to Linux Interface Pairs, when they exist. Gated by a configuration
flag (linux-cp { lcp-sync }), and by a CLI option to toggle on/off,
synchronize the following events:
- Interface state changes
- Interface MTU changes
- Interface IPv4/IPv6 address add/deletion
In VPP, subints can have any link state and MTU, orthogonal to their
phy. In Linux, setting admin-down on a phy forces its children to be
down as well. Also, in Linux, MTU of children must not exceed that of
the phy. Add a state synchronizer which walks over phy+subints to
ensure Linux and VPP end up in the same consistent state.
Part 2 -- notes in https://ipng.ch/s/articles/2021/08/15/vpp-3.html
Add the ability for VPP to autocreate sub-interfaces of existing Linux
Interface pairs. Gated by a configuration flag
(linux-cp { lcp-auto-subint }), and by a CLI option to toggle on/off,
synchronize the following event:
- Sub-interface creation (dot1q, dot1ad, QinQ and QinAD)
A few other changes:
- Add two functions into netlink.[ch] to delete ip4 and ip6 addresses.
- Remove a spurious logline (printing MTU) in netlink.c.
- Resolve a TODO around vnet_sw_interface_supports_addressing()
