implements a new feature: "BGP Allow list."
This feature allows us to control which IP prefixes are going to be advertised via ebgp from the routes received from EBGP neighbors.

* Adding new BGP peer groups PEER_V4_INT and PEER_V6_INT. The internal BGP sessions
will be added to this peer group while the external BGP sessions will be added
to the exising PEER_V4 and PEER_V6 peer group.
* Check for "ASIC" keyword in the hostname to identify the internal neighbors.
- change the references to 'type' field to 'sub_role'
- change the references to 'InternalFrontend' and 'InternalBackend' to 'FrontEnd' and 'BackEnd' respectively
- add a statement to reflect route-reflector for backend asics
- add a change to set "next-hop-self force" configuration for internal BGP session in multi asic platform.

The one big bgp configuration template was splitted into chunks.
Currently we have three types of bgp neighbor peers:
general bgp peers. They are represented by CONFIG_DB::BGP_NEIGHBOR table entries
dynamic bgp peers. They are represented by CONFIG_DB::BGP_PEER_RANGE table entries
monitors bgp peers. They are represented by CONFIG_DB::BGP_MONITORS table entries
This PR introduces three templates for each peer type:
bgp policies: represent policieas that will be applied to the bgp peer-group (ip prefix-lists, route-maps, etc)
bgp peer-group: represent bgp peer group which has common configuration for the bgp peer type and uses bgp routing policy from the previous item
bgp peer-group instance: represent bgp configuration, which will be used to instatiate a bgp peer-group for the bgp peer-type. Usually this one is simple, consist of the referral to the bgp peer-group, bgp peer description and bgp peer ip address.
This PR redefined constant.yml file. Now this file has a setting for to use or don't use bgp_neighbor metadata. This file has more parameters for now, which are not used. They will be used in the next iteration of bgpcfgd.
Currently all tests have been disabled. I'm going to create next PR with the tests right after this PR is merged.
I'm going to introduce better bgpcfgd in a short time. It will include support of dynamic changes for the templates.
FIX:: #4231
