1. Made the command next-hop-self force only applicable on back-end asic bgp. This is done so that BGPL iBGP session running on backend can send e-BGP learn nexthop. Back end asic FRR is able to recursively resolve the eBGP nexthop in its routing table since it knows about all the connected routes advertise from front end asic.
2. Made all front-end asic bgp use global loopback ip (Loopback0) as router id and back end asic bgp use Loopbacl4096 as ruter-id and originator id for Route-Reflector. This is done so that routes learnt by external peer do not see Loopback4096 as router id in show ip bgp <route-prerfix> output.
3. To handle above change need to pass Loopback4096 from BGP manager for jinja2 template generation. This was missing and this change/fix is needed for this also https://github.com/Azure/sonic-buildimage/blob/master/dockers/docker-fpm-frr/frr/bgpd/templates/dynamic/instance.conf.j2#L27
4. Enhancement to add mult_asic specific bgpd template generation unit test cases.

* Loopback IP changes for multi ASIC devices
multi ASIC will have 2 Loopback Interfaces
- Loopback0 has globally unique IP address, which is advertised by the multi ASIC device to its peers.
This way all the external devices will see this device as a single device.
- Loopback4096 is assigned an IP address which has a scope is within the device. Each ASIC has a different ip address for Loopback4096. This ip address will be used as Router-Id by the bgp instance on multi ASIC devices.
This PR implements this change for multi ASIC devices

- 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
