Before deleting nexthop groups, that are installed,
from the system, start a timer and hold the nexthop
group for that time.
Suppose you have this scenario
a) create a static route with 1 x ecmp
creates a nhg with 1 x ecmp
b) create a static route with 2 x ecmp
creates a nhg with 2 x ecmp
deletes a's nhg
c) create a static route with 3 x ecmp
creates a nhg with 3 x ecmp
deletes b's nhg
d) create a different route with 1 x ecmp
creates another 1 x ecmp ( since a's ecmp was deleted )
e) create a different route with 2 x ecmp
creates another 2 x ecmp ( since b's ecmp was deleted )
If you don't delete the nhg, start a timer, the nhg's used
in steps a and b can be reused for steps d and e. This reduces
overhead work with zebra <-> kernel interactions and improves
the speed of the system.
So modify the code to note that an installed nexthop group should
be kept around a bit and hopefully reused.

When `-r` is specified to zebra, on shutdown we should
not remove any routes from the fib. This was a problem

Introduce a methodology where on shutdown we don't mess

next startup things will be ok.

Add a flag to track the released state of a proto-based NHG.
This flag is used to know whether the upper level proto has called
the *_del API. Typically, the NHG would just get removed and uninstalled
at this point but there is a chance we are being sent it while routes
are still being owned or we were sent it multiple times. This flag
and associated code handles that.

Add a command/functionality to only install proto-based nexthops.
That is nexthops owned/created by upper level protocols, not ones
implicitly created by zebra.

to use ones you have control over via lib/nexthop_group config

Implement the underlying zebra functionality to Add/Del an
internal zebra and kernel NHG.
These NHGs are managed by the upperlevel protocols that send them
down via zapi messaging.
They are not put into the overall zebra NHG hash table and only
put into to the ID table. Therefore, different protos cannot
and will not share NHGs.
The proto is also set appropriately when sent to the kernel.
Expand the separation of Zebra hashed/shared/created NHGs and
proto created and mangaged NHGs.

The kernel does not allow duplicate IDs in the same group, but
we are perfectly find with it internally if two different
nexthops resolve the the same nexthop (default route for instance).
So, we have to handle this when we get ready to install.
Further, pass the max group size in the arguments to ensure we
don't overflow. Don't actually think this is possible due to
multipath checking in nexthop_active_update() but better to be
