The flag ROUTE_ENTRY_NEXTHOPS_CHANGED is only ever set or unset.
Since this flag is not used for anything useful, remove from system.
By changing this flag we have re-ordered `internalStatus' of json
output of zebra rib routes. Go through and fix up tetsts to
use the new values.

Introducing a 3rd state for route_map_apply library function: RMAP_NOOP
Traditionally route map MATCH rule apis were designed to return
a binary response, consisting of either RMAP_MATCH or RMAP_NOMATCH.
(Route-map SET rule apis return RMAP_OKAY or RMAP_ERROR).
Depending on this response, the following statemachine decided the
course of action:
State1:
If match cmd returns RMAP_MATCH then, keep existing behaviour.
If routemap type is PERMIT, execute set cmds or call cmds if applicable,
otherwise PERMIT!
Else If routemap type is DENY, we DENYMATCH right away
State2:
If match cmd returns RMAP_NOMATCH, continue on to next route-map. If there
are no other rules or if all the rules return RMAP_NOMATCH, return DENYMATCH
We require a 3rd state because of the following situation:
The issue - what if, the rule api needs to abort or ignore a rule?:
"match evpn vni xx" route-map filter can be applied to incoming routes
regardless of whether the tunnel type is vxlan or mpls.
This rule should be N/A for mpls based evpn route, but applicable to only
vxlan based evpn route.
Also, this rule should be applicable for routes with VNI label only, and
not for routes without labels. For example, type 3 and type 4 EVPN routes
do not have labels, so, this match cmd should let them through.
Today, the filter produces either a match or nomatch response regardless of
whether it is mpls/vxlan, resulting in either permitting or denying the
route.. So an mpls evpn route may get filtered out incorrectly.
Eg: "route-map RM1 permit 10 ; match evpn vni 20" or
"route-map RM2 deny 20 ; match vni 20"
With the introduction of the 3rd state, we can abort this rule check safely.
How? The rules api can now return RMAP_NOOP to indicate
that it encountered an invalid check, and needs to abort just that rule,
but continue with other rules.
As a result we have a 3rd state:
State3:
If match cmd returned RMAP_NOOP
Then, proceed to other route-map, otherwise if there are no more
rules or if all the rules return RMAP_NOOP, then, return RMAP_PERMITMATCH.

Add a file that exposes functions which modify nexthop groups.
Nexthop groups are techincally immutable but there are a
few special cases where we need direct access to add/remove
nexthops after the group has been made. This file provides a
way to expose those functions in a way that makes it clear
this is a private/hidden api.

Else: If Routemap type is DENY, we DENYMATCH right away
State2: Received RMAP_NOMATCH, continue on to next route-map, otherwise,
return DENYMATCH by default if nothing matched.
With reference to PR 4078 (https://github.com/FRRouting/frr/pull/4078),
we require a 3rd state because of the following situation:
The issue - what if, the rule api needs to abort or ignore a rule?:
"match evpn vni xx" route-map filter can be applied to incoming routes
regardless of whether the tunnel type is vxlan or mpls.

"route-map RM2 deny 20 ; match vni 20"
With the introduction of the 3rd state, we can abort this rule check safely.
How? The rules api can now return RMAP_NOOP (or another enum) to indicate
that it encountered an invalid check, and needs to abort just that rule,
but continue with other rules.
Question: Do we repurpose an existing enum RMAP_OKAY or RMAP_ERROR
as the 3rd state (or create a new enum like RMAP_NOOP)?
RMAP_OKAY and RMAP_ERROR are used to return the result of set cmd.
We chose to go with RMAP_NOOP (but open to ideas),
as a way to bypass the rmap filter
As a result we have a 3rd state:
State3: Received RMAP_NOOP
Then, proceed to other route-map, otherwise return RMAP_PERMITMATCH by default.

Since these functions are not really rib processing problems
let's move them to zebra_nhg.c which is meant for processing of
nexthop groups.
