Add large BGP community to selectively disable prepends #946

@durkovic

Description

@durkovic

IXP manager currently supports the following large BGP communities for prepends:

RS:101:PEERAS - Prepend to PEERAS once
RS:102:PEERAS - Prepend to PEERAS twice
RS:103:PEERAS - Prepend to PEERAS three times

When PEERAS is set to 0, prepeds are applied to all IXP peers.

If ISP sets e.g. RS:101:0, it can still increase number of prepends for some peers with RS:102:PEERAS or RS:103:PEERAS, but can't revert to zero prepends anymore.

I'd therefore propose to introduce new community:

RS:100:PEERAS - Do not prepend to PEERAS

which will solve the above problem and fall nicely into the range reserved for AS Path prepending: RS:100-199:*
