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).

Prevent the confd plugin from subscribing to configuration changes on a
data tree that contains only state data.

* 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 fixes an infinite loop that happened every time the connection
to the confd daemon was lost. Deactivate the confd module when
that happens to fix the infinite loop. This is only a temporary
workaround, in the long term we need to add a connection retry timer
to reestablish the connection to the confd daemon once it's back.

This plugin leverages the northbound API to integrate FRR with the ConfD
management agent.
The plugin is linked to the libconfd library and communicates with the
confd daemon using local TCP sockets. The integration consists mostly
of glue code that calls the appropriate FRR northbound callbacks in
response to events triggered by the confd daemon (e.g. request to change
the configuration or to fetch operational data).
By integrating FRR with the libconfd library, FRR can be managed using
all northbound interfaces provided by ConfD, including NETCONF, RESTCONF
and their Web API.
The ConfD CDB API is used to handle configuration changes and the ConfD
Data Provider API is used to provide operational data, process RPCs and
send notifications. Support for configuration management using the ConfD
Data Provider API is not available at this point.
The ConfD optional 'get_object()' and 'get_next_object()' callbacks were
implemented for optimal performance when fetching operational data.
This plugins requires ConfD 6.5 or later since it uses the new leaf-list
API introduced in ConfD 6.5.
To install the plugin, the --enable-confd option should be given to the
configure script, specifying the location where ConfD is installed.
Example: ./configure --enable-confd=/root/confd-6.6
When installed, the confd plugin will be available for all FRR daemons
and can be loaded using the -M (or --module) command line option.
Example: zebra -M confd.
