New BFD protocol integration API with abstractions to fix most common
protocol integration errors:

 - Set address family together with the source/destination addresses

 - Set the TTL together with the single/multi hop option

 - Set/unset profile/interface easily

 - Keep the arguments so we don't have to rebuild them every time

 - Install/uninstall functions that keep track of current state so the
  daemon doesn't have to

 - Reinstall when critical configuration changes (address, multi hop
   etc...)

 - Reconfigure BFD when the daemon restarts automatically

 - Automatically calls the user defined callback for session update

 - Shutdown handler for all protocols
