pCount and Flags #14

Description

@BasilGuo

We don't use pCount but we use Flags field, though we don't assign a single value to Flags.

The pCount field in BGPsec is for TE. If pCount > 1, it means there are pCount times ASN in the AS_PATH/BGPsec_PATH for TE. But it only needs one Signature Segment.

The Flags field in BGPsec is for Confed_Segment. The leftmost (i.e., the most significant) bit of the Flags field is the Confed_Segment flag. The remaining 7 bits of the Flags field are unassigned.

We do need to consider TE but we don't know if we should consider about Confed_Segment.
