The northbound infrastructure for operational data was subpar compared
to the infrastructure for configuration data. This commit addresses most
of the existing problems, making it possible to write operational-data
callbacks for more complex YANG models.
Summary of the changes:
* Add support for nested YANG lists.
* Add support for leaf-lists.
* Add support for leafs of type "empty".
* Introduce the "show yang operational-data XPATH" command, and write an
unit test for it. The main purpose of this command is to make it
easier to test the operational-data northbound callbacks.
* Introduce the nb_oper_data_iterate() function, that can be used
to iterate over operational data. Make the CLI and sysrepo use this
function.
* Since ConfD has a very peculiar API, it can't reuse the
nb_oper_data_iterate() like the other northbound clients. In this
case, adapt the existing ConfD callbacks to support the new features
(and make some performance improvements in the process).

* Rename yang_snodes_iterate() to yang_snodes_iterate_subtree() and
expose it in the public API.
* Rename yang_module_snodes_iterate() to yang_snodes_iterate_module().
* Rename yang_all_snodes_iterate() to yang_snodes_iterate_all().
* Make it possible to stop the iteration at any time by returning
YANG_ITER_STOP in the iteration callbacks.
* Make the iteration callbacks accept only one user argument and not
two.

Prefetching the schema node when creating yang_data structures is
expensive, and in most cases we don't need that information. In that case,
fetch the schema information only when necessary to improve performance
when fetching operational data.

This plugin leverages the northbound API to integrate FRR with Sysrepo,
a YANG-based configuration and operational state data store.
The plugin is linked to the libsysrepo library and communicates with
the sysrepod daemon using GPB (Google Protocol Buffers) over AF_UNIX
sockets. The integration consists mostly of glue code that calls the
appropriate FRR northbound callbacks in response to events triggered
by the sysrepod daemon (e.g. request to change the configuration or to
fetch operational data).
To build the sysrepo plugin, provide the --enable-sysrepo option to the
configure script while building FRR (the libsysrepo library needs to be
installed in the system).
When installed, the sysrepo plugin will be available for all FRR daemons
and can be loaded using the -M (or --module) command line option.
Example: bgpd -M sysrepo.
