neighbour: support for NTF_EXT_LEARNED flag
This patch extends NTF_EXT_LEARNED support to the neighbour system. Example use-case: An Ethernet VPN implementation (eg in FRR routing suite) can use this flag to add dynamic reachable external neigh entires learned via control plane. The use of neigh NTF_EXT_LEARNED in this patch is consistent with its use with bridge and vxlan fdb entries. Signed-off-by: Roopa Prabhu <roopa@cumulusnetworks.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
