Allow configuration of BGP sessions to non standard ports.

Hi,

The current configuration options assume that one or both BGP peers will be
listening on port 179.

As a result it becomes impossible to configure BIRD instances to talk to
each other if both are running BGP on non standard ports, or if a single
instance is on a non standard port and running in passive mode.

I've attached a patch which I think does the trick, allowing the user to
specify a 'neighbor port <portnum>;' option, but I'm not that familiar with
the codebase so I might be missing something. If the patch is not
appropriate in its current form, please consider this a feature request for
future versions.

Thanks,
Joao.
