bgpd: Allow peering via 127.0.0.0/8
There are some specific edge-cases when is a need to run FRR and another FRR and/or another BGP implementation on the same box. Relaxing 127.0.0.0/8 for this case might be reasonable. An example below peering via 127.0.0.0/8 between FRR and GoBGP: ``` % ss -ntlp | grep 179 LISTEN 0 4096 127.0.0.1:179 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 0 128 127.0.0.2:179 0.0.0.0:* % grep 127.0.0.2 /etc/frr/daemons bgpd_options=" -A 127.0.0.1 -l 127.0.0.2" % grep local /etc/gobgp/config.toml local-address-list = ["127.0.0.1"] donatas-pc# sh ip bgp summary IPv4 Unicast Summary (VRF default): BGP router identifier 192.168.10.17, local AS number 65001 vrf-id 0 BGP table version 0 RIB entries 0, using 0 bytes of memory Peers 1, using 725 KiB of memory Neighbor V AS MsgRcvd MsgSent TblVer InQ OutQ Up/Down State/PfxRcd PfxSnt Desc 127.0.0.1 4 65002 7 7 0 0 0 00:02:02 0 0 N/A Total number of neighbors 1 donatas-pc# ``` Signed-off-by: Donatas Abraitis <donatas@opensourcerouting.org>
