*BSD has some special struggles associated with the graceful
restart code in zebra. Add a bit of documentation to outline
this problem and how it is solved.

Upon restart zebra reads in the kernel state. Under linux
there is a mechanism to read the route and convert the protocol
to the correct internal FRR protocol to allow the zebra graceful
restart efforts to work properly.
Under *BSD I do not see a mechanism to convey the original FRR
protocol into the kernel and thus back out of it. Thus when
zebra crashes ( or restarts ) the routes read back in are kernel
routes and are effectively lost to the system and FRR cannot
remove them properly. Why? Because FRR see's kernel routes
as routes that it should not own and in general the admin
distance for those routes will be a better one than the
admin distance from a routing protocol. This is even
worse because when the graceful restart timer pops and rib_sweep
is run, FRR becomes out of sync with the state of the kernel forwarding
on *BSD.
On restart, notice that the route is a self route that there
is no way to know it's originating protocol. In this case
let's set the protocol to ZEBRA_ROUTE_STATIC and set the admin
distance to 255.
This way when an upper level protocol reinstalls it's route
the general zebra graceful restart code still works. The
high admin distance allows the code to just work in a way
that is graceful( HA! )
The drawback here is that the route shows up as a static
route for the time the system is doing it's work. FRR
could introduce *another* route type but this seems like
a bad idea and the STATIC route type is loosely analagous
to the type of route it has become.

FRR will crash when the re->type is a ZEBRA_ROUTE_ALL and it
is inserted into the meta-queue. Let's just put some basic
code in place to prevent a crash from happening. No routing
protocol should be using ZEBRA_ROUTE_ALL as a value but
bugs do happen. Let's just accept the weird route type
gracefully and move on.

Essentially the newly introduced variable zebra_ecmp_count is not available in the
libstatic.a compiled and make check has code that compiles against it.
The fix is to just move the variable to the library.

There exists some interface types that are slow on startup
to fully register their link speed. Especially those that
are working with an asic backend. The speed_update timer
associated with each interface would keep trying if the
system returned a MAX_UINT32 as the speed. This speed
means both unknown or there is none under linux.
Since some interface types are slow on startup let's modify
FRR to try for at most 4 minutes and give up trying on those
interfaces where we never get any useful data.
Why 4 minutes? I wanted to balance the time associated with
slow interfaces coming up with those that will never give us
a value. So I choose 4 minutes as a good ballpark of time
to keep trying
Why not track all those interfaces and just not attempt to
do the speed lookup? I would prefer to not keep track of these
as that I do not know all the interface types, nor do I wish
to keep programming as new ones come in.

Zebra sends a nexthop-update message on registeration, which will cause
existing routes to be reconfigured even no changes actually happened.
Don't register the nexthop again if it's already done.

Look up linked interface in the correct netns, otherwise, either a wrong
interface or NULL would be used.
For example, enable VRF netns backend, and:
ip netns add ns1
ip link add link eth0 link1 type macvlan
ip link set link1 netns ns1 up
Zebra will crash in zebra_vxlan_macvlan_up because zif->link is NULL.

This PR adds support for configuring topotest routers using a single file.
instead of:
```
router.load_config(
TopoRouter.RD_ZEBRA, os.path.join(CWD, "{}/zebra.conf".format(rname))
)
router.load_config(
TopoRouter.RD_OSPF, os.path.join(CWD, "{}/ospfd.conf".format(rname))
)
router.load_config(
TopoRouter.RD_BGP, os.path.join(CWD, "{}/bgpd.conf".format(rname))
)
```
you can now do:
```
router.load_frr_config(
os.path.join(CWD, "{}/frr.conf".format(rname)),
[TopoRouter.RD_ZEBRA, TopoRouter.RD_OSPF, TopoRouter.RD_BGP]
)
```
or just:
```
router.load_frr_config(os.path.join(CWD, "{}/frr.conf".format(rname)))
```
In this latter case, the daemons list will be inferred from frr.conf file.

End operator is reporting that they are receiving buffer overruns
when attempting to read from the kernel receive socket. It is
possible to adjust this size to more modern levels especially
for when the system is under load. Modify the code base
so that *BSD operators can use the zebra `-s XXX` option
to specify a read buffer.
Additionally setup the default receive buffer size on *BSD
to be 128k instead of the 8k so that FRR does not run into
this issue again.
