This PR adds support for adding IPv4 routes over IPv6 nexthops. This is needed for BGP unnumbered where nexthops are always IPv6 link local addresses.
There are no new tables added to this PR. Rather IPv6 variants of the exiting IPv4 actions on IPv4 router index table are added.
The API has a version bump to accommodate creating IPv4 routes over IPv6 nexhops as well is listing and fetching IPv4 routes.
This code has been tested in Maghemite CI where we have an
mgddaemon feeding unnumbered routes to dendrite and they are installed successfully here.
