bgpd: When advertising a multipath route, the attribute set to be
advertised is based on the bestpath attribute set, but the
following attributes are aggregated from the attribute sets
of the multipath constituents:
- AS_PATH
- ORIGIN
- COMMUNITIES
- EXTENDED COMMUNITIES
In addition the route is advertised with the NEXT_HOP set
to the router's interface IP address, instead of the NEXT_HOP
of the best path. This is to ensure that traffic will go to this
router so it can be fanned out via the multipath route.
