bgpd: Set correct TTL for the dynamic neighbor peers
In an EBGP multihop configuration with dynamic neighbors, the TTL configured is not being updated for the socket.
Issue:
Assume the following topology:
Host (Dynamic peer to spine - 192.168.1.100) - Leaf - Spine (192.168.1.1)
When the host establishes a BGP multihop session to the spine,
the connection uses the MAXTTL value instead of the configured TTL (in this case, 2).
This issue is only observed with dynamic peers.
Logs: look at the TTL is still MAXTTL, instead of “2” configured.

Fix:
Whenever a dynamic peer is created, the socket TTL should be updated with the configured TTL, in this case 2.
