Re-apply what was reverted in #16615 because of the #16572 regression.

This new pull-requests fixes some ipv4-mapped ipv6 use cases but does not cause this time the #16572 regression.

The reverted pull-requests #16439, #15614 and #15368 are reapplied here with the following changes:

  • Fix from Donatas bgpd: Do not use mapped IPv4/IPv6 addresses for unnumbered peering #16582 has been applied and merged into commit "bgpd, tests: set ipv4-mapped ipv6 for ipv4 on ipv6". The fix was correct to fix issue.
  • The check for ipv4-mapped ipv6 global nexthop in f1b8364 has been removed. The
    ipv4-mapped ipv6 global nexthop was the cause of the regression with unnumbered peering.
  • Fixup commits that addressed previous commit issues have been merged into the initial commits for improved clarity.

Log new IPv6 global address in bgp_interface_address_add

bgpd keeps on advertising IPv6 prefixes with a IPv6 link-local nexthop
after a valid IPv6 global appears.

At bgpd startup, the IPv6 global is announced by zebra after the
link-local. Only the link-local is advertised. Clearing the BGP sessions
make the global to to be announced.

Update the nexthops with the global IPv6 when available.

This test uses the connected ipv4 mapped ipv6 prefix
to resolve the received BGP routes.

Add bgp_nexthop_mp_ipv4_6 topotest to test to nexhop value with
MP-BGP IPv4 and IPv6 on IPv4 peering. The test has route-reflector,
route-server, iBGP and eBGP peers.

When the IPv6 global is removed on an interface towards a peer, the
IPv6 nexthop global that is sent is a IPv4-mapped IPv6 address. It
should be the link-local.

At removal, replace the global by the next global address or the
link-local as last resort.

When a peer has no IPv6 global address to send as nexthop, it sends the
IPv6 link-local instead as global. "show bgp ipv6 json" displays the
same address in global and link-local scopes.

> "nexthops": [
>   {
>     "ip": "fe80::a495:38ff:fea6:6ea3",
>     "afi": "ipv6",
>     "scope": "global",
>     "used": true
>   },
>   {
>     "ip": "fe80::a495:38ff:fea6:6ea3",
>     "afi": "ipv6",
>     "scope": "link-local"
>   }
> ]

However, "used" key is set on the global nexthop but not in link-local.
It is correct but it makes difficult to test JSON to expect the usage of
a link-local. The contrary is also correct.

Set "used" key on the link-local nexhop instead to facilitate the tests.

The code was expected that no IPv6 global address was present but the
previous commit was replacing nexthop.v6global by the link-local address
instead of un-setting it in case of removal of the IPv6 global.

Set also ipv4-mapped ipv6 address as nexthop when a link-local is found
and it is an ipv4 prefix over ipv6 nexthop.

When a peer sends an IPv4-mapped IPv6 global and a IPv6 link-local
nexthop, prefer the link-local unless a route-map tells to use the
global.

Replace IPv4-mapped IPv6 at update forwarding because the peer may not
be able to create a route with the IPv4-mapped IPv6.

Test that a IPv4-mapped IPv6 is sent from a peer that has no global IPv6
address.
