bgp: consider adding plumbing for interface association of peer #619

@taspelund

Description

@taspelund

Currently there is no plumbing that associates a BGP peer with a network interface. This means for IPv6 peering, that we must prefer the GUA next-hop in circumstances where the peer sends us both GUA + Link-local next-hops, because we are unable to tie the link-local address to its scope.

We should consider adding plumbing for interface association of a peer, that way we have the ability to make use of Link-local next-hops instead of always relying on the GUA address having a connected route.
