MPLS label pool backed by allocations from the zebra label manager.
A caller requests a label (e.g., in support of an "auto" label
specification in the CLI) via lp_get(), supplying a unique ID and
a callback function. The callback function is invoked at a later
time with the unique ID and a label value to inform the requestor
of the assigned label.
Requestors may release their labels back to the pool via lp_release().
The label pool is stocked with labels allocated by the zebra label
manager. The interaction with zebra is asynchronous so that bgpd
is not blocked while awaiting a label allocation from zebra.
The label pool implementation allows for bgpd operation before (or
without) zebra, and gracefully handles loss and reconnection of
zebra. Of course, before initial connection with zebra, no labels
are assigned to requestors. If the zebra connection is lost and
regained, callbacks to requestors will invalidate old assignments
and then assign new labels.
