The default bgp connect retry timer is 120 seconds. A reconnection will happen 120 seconds if the initial connection fails. This PR aims to allow a more frequent retry.
Why I did it
It was observed that on a multi-asic DUT bootup, the BGP internal sessions between ASIC's was taking more time to get ESTABLISHED than external BGP sessions. The internal sessions was coming up almost exactly 120 secs later.
In multi-asic platform the bgp dockers ( which is per ASIC ) on switch start are bring brought up around the same time and they try to make the bgp sessions with neighbors (in peer ASIC's) which may be not be completely up. This results in BGP connect fail and the retry happens after 120sec which is the default Connect Retry Timer
How I did it
Add the command to set the bgp neighboring session retry timer to 10sec for internal bgp neighbors.
- Why I did it
Initially, we used Monit to monitor critical processes in each container. If one of critical processes was not running
or crashed due to some reasons, then Monit will write an alerting message into syslog periodically. If we add a new process
in a container, the corresponding Monti configuration file will also need to update. It is a little hard for maintenance.
Currently we employed event listener of Supervisod to do this monitoring. Since processes in each container are managed by
Supervisord, we can only focus on the logic of monitoring.
- How I did it
We borrowed the event listener of Supervisord to monitor critical processes in containers. The event listener will take
following steps if it was notified one of critical processes exited unexpectedly:
The event listener will first check whether the auto-restart mechanism was enabled for this container or not. If auto-restart mechanism was enabled, event listener will kill the Supervisord process, which should cause the container to exit and subsequently get restarted.
If auto-restart mechanism was not enabled for this contianer, the event listener will enter a loop which will first sleep 1 minute and then check whether the process is running. If yes, the event listener exits. If no, an alerting message will be written into syslog.
- How to verify it
First, we need checked whether the auto-restart mechanism of a container was enabled or not by running the command show feature status. If enabled, one critical process should be selected and killed manually, then we need check whether the container will be restarted or not.
Second, we can disable the auto-restart mechanism if it was enabled at step 1 by running the commnad sudo config feature autorestart <container_name> disabled. Then one critical process should be selected and killed. After that, we will see the alerting message which will appear in the syslog every 1 minute.

- Support for non-template based FRR configurations (BGP, route-map, OSPF, static route..etc) using config DB schema.
- Support for save & restore - Jinja template based config-DB data read and apply to FRR during startup
**- How I did it**
- add frrcfgd service
- when frr_mgmg_framework_config is set, frrcfgd starts in bgp container
- when user changed the BGP or other related table entries in config DB, frrcfgd will run corresponding VTYSH commands to program on FRR.
- add jinja template to generate FRR config file to be used by FRR daemons while bgp container restarted
**- How to verify it**
1. Add/delete data on config DB and then run VTYSH "show running-config" command to check if FRR configuration changed.
1. Restart bgp container and check if generated FRR config file is correct and run VTYSH "show running-config" command to check if FRR configuration is consistent with attributes in config DB

Fix#5026
There is a race condition between zebra server accepts connections and bgpd tries to connect. Bgpd has a chance to try to connect before zebra is ready. In this scenario, bgpd will try again after 10 seconds and operate as normal within these 10 seconds. As a consequence, whatever bgpd tries to sent to zebra will be missing in the 10 seconds. To avoid such a scenario, bgpd should start after zebra is ready to accept connections.
* Use 20 and 30 route-map entries instead of 2 and 3 for TSA

We were building a custom version of Supervisor because I had added patches to prevent hangs and crashes if the system clock ever rolled backward. Those changes were merged into the upstream Supervisor repo as of version 3.4.0 (http://supervisord.org/changes.html#id9), therefore, we should be able to simply install the vanilla package via pip. This will also allow us to easily move to Python 3, as Python 3 support was added in version 4.0.0.
**- How I did it**
- Remove Makefiles and patches for building supervisor package from source
- Install Python 3 supervisor package version 4.2.1 in Buster base container
- Also install Python 3 version of supervisord-dependent-startup in Buster base container
- Debian package installed binary in `/usr/bin/`, but pip package installs in `/usr/local/bin/`, so rather than update all absolute paths, I changed all references to simply call `supervisord` and let the system PATH find the executable to prevent future need for changes just in case we ever need to switch back to build a Debian package, then we won't need to modify these again.
- Install Python 2 supervisor package >= 3.4.0 in Stretch and Jessie base containers

**- Why I did it**
To introduce dynamic support of BBR functionality into bgpcfgd.
BBR is adding `neighbor PEER_GROUP allowas-in 1' for all BGP peer-groups which points to T0
Now we can add and remove this configuration based on CONFIG_DB entry
**- How I did it**
I introduced a new CONFIG_DB entry:
- table name: "BGP_BBR"
- key value: "all". Currently only "all" is supported, which means that all peer-groups which points to T0s will be updated
- data value: a dictionary: {"status": "status_value"}, where status_value could be either "enabled" or "disabled"
Initially, when bgpcfgd starts, it reads initial BBR status values from the [constants.yml](https://github.com/Azure/sonic-buildimage/pull/5626/files#diff-e6f2fe13a6c276dc2f3b27a5bef79886f9c103194be4fcb28ce57375edf2c23cR34). Then you can control BBR status by changing "BGP_BBR" table in the CONFIG_DB (see examples below).
bgpcfgd knows what peer-groups to change fron [constants.yml](https://github.com/Azure/sonic-buildimage/pull/5626/files#diff-e6f2fe13a6c276dc2f3b27a5bef79886f9c103194be4fcb28ce57375edf2c23cR39). The dictionary contains peer-group names as keys, and a list of address-families as values. So when bgpcfgd got a request to change the BBR state, it changes the state only for peer-groups listed in the constants.yml dictionary (and only for address families from the peer-group value).
**- How to verify it**
Initially, when we start SONiC FRR has BBR enabled for PEER_V4 and PEER_V6:
```
admin@str-s6100-acs-1:~$ vtysh -c 'show run' | egrep 'PEER_V.? allowas'
neighbor PEER_V4 allowas-in 1
neighbor PEER_V6 allowas-in 1
```
Then we apply following configuration to the db:
```
admin@str-s6100-acs-1:~$ cat disable.json
{
"BGP_BBR": {
"all": {
"status": "disabled"
}
}
}
admin@str-s6100-acs-1:~$ sonic-cfggen -j disable.json -w
```
The log output are:
```
Oct 14 18:40:22.450322 str-s6100-acs-1 DEBUG bgp#bgpcfgd: Received message : '('all', 'SET', (('status', 'disabled'),))'

```
Check FRR configuraiton and see that no allowas parameters are there:
```
admin@str-s6100-acs-1:~$ vtysh -c 'show run' | egrep 'PEER_V.? allowas'
admin@str-s6100-acs-1:~$
```
Then we apply enabling configuration back:
```
admin@str-s6100-acs-1:~$ cat enable.json
{
"BGP_BBR": {
"all": {
"status": "enabled"
}
}
}
admin@str-s6100-acs-1:~$ sonic-cfggen -j enable.json -w
```
The log output:
```

```
Check FRR configuraiton and see that the BBR configuration is back:
```
admin@str-s6100-acs-1:~$ vtysh -c 'show run' | egrep 'PEER_V.? allowas'
neighbor PEER_V4 allowas-in 1
neighbor PEER_V6 allowas-in 1
```

**- Why I did it**
FRR introduced [next hop tracking](http://docs.frrouting.org/projects/dev-guide/en/latest/next-hop-tracking.html) functionality.
That functionality requires resolving BGP neighbors before setting BGP connection (or explicit ebgp-multihop command). Sometimes (BGP MONITORS) our neighbors are not directly connected and sessions are IBGP. In this case current configuration prevents FRR to establish BGP connections. Reason would be "waiting for NHT". To fix that we need either add static routes for each not-directly connected ibgp neighbor, or enable command `ip nht resolve-via-default`
**- How I did it**
Put `ip nht resolve-via-default` into the config
**- How to verify it**
Build an image. Enable BGP_MONITOR entry and check that entry is Established or Connecting in FRR

* Add bgpmon under sonic-bgpcfgd to be started as a new daemon under BGP docker
* Added bgpmon to be monitored by Monit so that if it crashed, it gets alerted
* use console_scripts entry point to package bgpmon
When stopping the swss, pmon or bgp containers, log messages like the following can be seen:
```

```
This is due to the number of programs in the container managed by supervisor, all generating events at the same time. The default event queue buffer size in supervisor is 10. This patch increases that value in all containers in order to eliminate these errors. As more programs are added to the containers, we may need to further adjust these values. I increased all buffer sizes to 25 except for containers with more programs or templated supervisor.conf files which allow for a variable number of programs. In these cases I increased the buffer size to 50. One final exception is the swss container, where the buffer fills up to ~50, so I increased this buffer to 100.

Explanation:
In the log from the issue I found:
```
I see following in the log
Jul 22 21:13:06.574831 vlab-01 WARNING bgp#bgpd[49]: [EC 33554499] sendmsg_nexthop: zclient_send_message() failed
```
Analyzing source code I found that the error message could be issues only when `zclient_send_rnh()` return less than 0.
```
ret = zclient_send_rnh(zclient, command, p, exact_match,
bnc->bgp->vrf_id);
/* TBD: handle the failure */
if (ret < 0)
flog_warn(EC_BGP_ZEBRA_SEND,
"sendmsg_nexthop: zclient_send_message() failed");
```
I checked [zclient_send_rnh()](88351c8f6d/lib/zclient.c (L654)) and found that this function will return the exit code which the function gets from [zclient_send_message()](88351c8f6d/lib/zclient.c (L266)) But the latter function could return not 0 in two cases:
1. bgpd didn’t connect to the zclient socket yet [code](88351c8f6d/lib/zclient.c (L269))
2. The socket was closed. But in this case we would receive the error message in the log. (And I can find the message in the log when we reboot sonic) [code](88351c8f6d/lib/zclient.c (L277))
Also I see from the logs that client connection was set later we had the issue in bgpd.
Bgpd.log
```
Jul 22 21:13:06.574831 vlab-01 WARNING bgp#bgpd[49]: [EC 33554499] sendmsg_nexthop: zclient_send_message() failed
```
Vs
Zebra.log
```
Jul 22 21:13:12.713249 vlab-01 NOTICE bgp#zebra[48]: client 25 says hello and bids fair to announce only static routes vrf=0
Jul 22 21:13:12.820352 vlab-01 NOTICE bgp#zebra[48]: client 30 says hello and bids fair to announce only bgp routes vrf=0
Jul 22 21:13:12.820352 vlab-01 NOTICE bgp#zebra[48]: client 33 says hello and bids fair to announce only vnc routes vrf=0
```
So in our case we should start zebra first. Wait until it is started and then start bgpd and other daemons.
**- How I did it**
I changed a graph to start daemons in the following order:
1. First start zebra
2. Then starts staticd and bgpd
3. Then starts vtysh -b and bgpeoi after bgpd is started.

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.

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.
