Description
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-idr-bgp-extended-messages defines a mechanism for extending the maximum size of a BGP message to 64kB.
Supporting this capability will allow us to ingest routes more efficiently, as the peers will be free to pack more NLRIs with equal attributes into a single message.
While the latest (-11) revision does not list the codepoint for the capability, a temporary IANA allocation has been granted on 9/30/2015 (https://www.iana.org/assignments/capability-codes/capability-codes.xhtml#capability-codes-2), hence we can safely implement this.
