bgpd: Adds support to mark up the BGP rib table entry with multipath

information based on the multipath list (mp_list) generated during
the best path calculation. Display "multipath" for paths that are
multipath and also on bestpath if the route is multipath. Flag a
best path with the BGP_INFO_MULTIPATH_CHG if the multipath
set has changed since the last update. This can be used to trigger
updates to zebra and peers.

The multipath markup is a lazily allocated bgp_info_mpath structure
that is added to the best path and any multipaths. The mpath structures
are linked together with the best path element at the head and the
other elements ordered by nexthop and then by peer address. This
markup scheme is updated by calling bgp_info_mpath_update() and passing
in a new mp_list the the current multipath set. There are additional
API's for walking the multipath set, querying the count of multipaths,
and for cleaning up the multipath markup information when freeing path
information.

  * bgp_info_mpath_new(): Allocation of new mpath element
  * bgp_info_mpath_free(): Release memory for mpath element
  * bgp_info_mpath_get(): Access mpath element of path. Allocate memory
    on-demand
